We generalize Dümbgen's [6] change point estimator and obtain optimal rates of convergence of estimators of the begining and the length of the changed segment.

Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000): 62G05 1 Introduction A general changed segment (called also epidemic) model can be described as follows. For n = 3, 4, . . . , let Pn and Qn be two probability distributions on a measurable space E and let Xn,1, Xn,2, . . . , Xn,n be a triangular array of independent random elements in E. There exist s?n and t?n such that for 1 ≤ i ≤ ns?n or nt?n < i ≤ n, the Xi,n's have distribution Pn, while for ns?n < i ≤ nt?n, they have distribution Qn.
