Stoffer. Springer Texts in Statistics, 2006.
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension... a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... T i M e S e R i e S a N a L y S i S

Here are the data files: group1 and group2; details are in the first file. This paper won the American Statistical Association's Outstanding Statistical Application Award for 1989. The theory for this paper was given in Stoffer (1987)... just below:

I've been asked for the data from this a few times, so here they are: slpmv1.dat, slpmv2.dat. The data files are similar to the sleep state data files with an additional column of the per minute number of movements.

R code for the algorithm can be found at the website for the second editon of our text. We still get many requests for the tech report corresponding to this paper. Unfortunately, the tech reports are long gone (believe it or not, in those days people typed their papers using an IBM selectric typewriter with little balls that had to be changed for math symbols). Fortunately, the details of the proofs (in more depth than was given in the tech report) are presented in our text in Sections 6.2 to 6.4 (Sections 4.2 to 4.4 in Edition 1).

This material is discussed in Chapter 6 of Shumway & Stoffer (2006). Some R code and examples can be found at the website for the second editon of the text. An implementation of the algorithm for Gauss TSM users can be found here.
