This paper is devoted to the study of some asymptotic properties of a -estimator in a framework of detection of abrupt changes in random field’s distribution. This class of problems includes e.g. recovery of sets. It involves various techniques, including -estimation method, concentration inequalities, maximal inequalities for dependent random variables and -mixing. Penalization of the criterion function when the size of the true model is unknown is performed. All the results apply under mild, discussed assumptions. Simple examples are provided.
