> Efficient Bayesian analysis of multiple changepoint models
>
> Abstract:
>
> We describe an efficient algorithm for Bayesian analysis of multiple
> changepoint models. In many scenarios it enables iid samples from the
> posterior distribution. Approximate versions (which introduce negligble
> error) have a computational cost that is linear in the number of
> observations -- and thus can be applied to large data sets (such as
> arise in modern bioinformatic applications).
>
> The method is demonstrated on applications that range from inference
> about the divergence of Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi A, to inference
> about the Isochore structure of the human genome.
