R: SPLIT POINT

splitPoint {ecp} | R Documentation

## SPLIT POINT

### Description

Finds the most likely location of a change point within a given segment.

### Usage

    splitPoint(start, end, D, min.size)

### Arguments

`start` | the index of the first observation in a segment.
`end` | The index of the last observation in a segment.
`D` | A n by n distance matrix.
`min.size` | Minimum number of observations between change points.

### Details

Called by the e.divisive method, and should not be called by the user.

### Value

The returned value is a vector. The first component is the most likely position of a change point. The second component is the distance between the segments created by this proposed change point.
