Reliable Change Point Detection for ACGH data

Abstract
This study introduces two algorithms based on the Inductive Conformal Martingale (ICM) approach to address the change point (CP) detection problem in array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) data. The ICM, a distribution-free approach with minimal assumptions, is particularly suitable for this application. We have implemented two ICM-based algorithms; the first utilizes nonconformities from preprocessed data, while the second incorporates the label conditional distribution and the labels’ distribution to enhance detection accuracy. This approach significantly improves our results, demonstrating the potential of ICM in complex genomic data analysis.
