摘要：

We consider the problem of estimating the unknown change-point in the parameter of a sequence of independent and exponentially distributed random variables. An exact expression for the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimate of the change-point is derived. The analysis is based on the application of Weiner-Hopf factorization identity involving the distribution of ascending and descending ladder heights, and the renewal measure in random walks.
