Abstract

We study the problem of detecting the emergence of a dynamic anomaly in sensor networks. The generated observations initially follow a pre-change distribution. At some unknown time, an anomaly appears, affecting a different set of nodes at each instant. The affected nodes generate data according to a post-change distribution. It is assumed that the trajectory of the anomaly is unknown. We propose a test that is optimal with respect to a measure of the expected delay for the worst-case trajectory. We compare the optimal test numerically with a test that uses the knowledge of the path of the anomaly and a heuristic test.
