BOCD

Python implementation of Bayesian Online Changepoint Detection for a Normal-Gamma model with unknown mean and variance parameters.

BOCD.py is a python script that estimates the run-length posterior distribution of the well-drilling nuclear magnetic response data using the Algorithm 1 mentioned in Bayesian Online Changepoint Detection.

Some useful resources for understanding and implementing the mentioned paper are:

• Murphy, K. P. (2007). Conjugate Bayesian analysis of the Gaussian distribution
