Abstract
Many authors have studied the problem of estimating the parameters in Bernoulli trials with dependence. Here, we extend this problem and derive modified maximum likelihood estimates to identify change-points and changed segments in this situation. This problem is of interest, e.g., in molecular biology when analyzing DNA sequences, where one of the four bases is coded as 1 and the other three as 0.
