Abstract

The problem of quickest data-adaptive and sequential search for clusters in a Gauss-Markov random field is considered. In the existing literature, such search for clusters is often performed using fixed sample size and non-adaptive strategies. In order to accommodate large networks, in which data adaptivity leads to significant gains in detection quality and agility, in this paper sequential and data-adaptive detection strategies are proposed and are shown to enjoy asymptotic optimality. The quickest detection problem is abstracted by adopting an acyclic dependency graph to model the mutual effects of different random variables in the field and decision making rules are derived for general random fields and specialized for Gauss-Markov random fields. Performance evaluations demonstrate the gains of the data-adaptive schemes over existing techniques in terms of sampling complexity and error exponents.
