Table 7 Boundary point detection algorithm for general functions

From: Feature analysis of multidisciplinary scientific collaboration patterns based on PNAS

Input: Data vector \(h_{0}(s)\) (s = 1,…,K), rescaling function g(⋅), and fitting model h(⋅).

For k from 1 to K do:

 Fit h(⋅) to \(h_{0}(s)\), s = 1,…,k by regression;

 Do KS test for two data vectors g(h(s)) and \(g( h_{0}(s))\), s = 1,…,k with the null hypothesis they coming from the same distribution;

 Break if the test rejects the null hypothesis at significance level 5%.

Output: The current k as the boundary point.
