摘要

This paper aims to analyse epidemic shifts in the mean of a time series. Here, an epidemic refers to a contiguous segment of observations within the sample where the mean shift occurs. The limiting law of our test statistic is obtained by a novel almost sure approximation for \(\alpha \) -mixing processes. The precision of the remainder term in our approximation ensures that our test remains consistent even when the epidemic’s duration scales logarithmically with the sample size.
