The location of the maximum and asymmetric two-sided Brownian motion with triangular drift. (English) Zbl 1059.60504

Summary: The argmax distribution in Bhattacharya and Brockwell (1976) is extended to branches with unequal scalings as well as drifts. Examples show how this distribution class in change point problems with unequal variability may provide better approximations for the MLE than the symmetrical limit in Y.-C.Yao [Ann. Stat. 15, 1321–1328 (1987; Zbl 0651.62017)].
