Transient change detection in mixed count and continuous random data and the cyber-physical systems security

Abstract

The problem of sequential transient change detection is considered in the paper. The original contribution of this paper is twofold: first, a mixed count/continuous statistical model with abrupt changes is considered in the paper; second, a new sequential test for such a mixed count/continuous statistical model is designed and studied. The theoretical findings are applied to the problem of cyber-physical attack detection.
