Results of the performance of the PTDA under three real-world conditions.

Noise: different levels of noise were added to the original time series. The numbers in the second column denote the strength of noise, e.g., 50 refers to added noise with a variance of 50% of the original time series. Position: The transition point was shifted along the time series. The numbers in the second column denote where the change was induced, e.g., 50 refers to a transition point at 50% (the middle) of the original time series. Increase: The transition was not induced abruptly but over a longer period of time. The numbers in the second column denote the range of the time series where the change occurred, e.g., 20 denotes that the change stretched over 20% of the time series (see also Fig 5).
