Independence screening methods such as the two sample $t$-test and the marginal correlation based ranking are among the most widely used techniques for variable selection in ultrahigh dimensional data sets. In this short note, simple…
Exact conditional tests for contingency tables require sampling from fibers with fixed margins. Classical Markov basis MCMC is general but often impractical: computing full Markov bases that connect all fibers of a given constraint matrix…
We propose a family of association measures for two-way contingency tables whose latent distribution can be assumed to be bivariate normal. When this assumption holds, the power-divergence measuring departure from independence can be…
Exact tests greatly improve the analysis of contingency tables when marginals are low. For instance, researchers often use Fisher's exact test, which is conditional, or Barnard's test, which is unconditional but needs to deal with a…
Distribution testing can be described as follows: $q$ samples are being drawn from some unknown distribution $P$ over a known domain $[n]$. After the sampling process, a decision must be made about whether $P$ holds some property, or is far…
Accuracy of the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo (FN-DMC) depends on the node location of the best available trial state $\Psi_T$. The practical FN-DMC approaches available for large systems rely on compact yet effective $\Psi_T$s…
Testing for the equality of two high-dimensional distributions is a challenging problem, and this becomes even more challenging when the sample size is small. Over the last few decades, several graph-based two-sample tests have been…
This paper is concerned with the problem of conditional independence testing for discrete data. In recent years, researchers have shed new light on this fundamental problem, emphasizing finite-sample optimality. The non-asymptotic viewpoint…
Testing mutual independence for high-dimensional observations is a fundamental statistical challenge. Popular tests based on linear and simple rank correlations are known to be incapable of detecting non-linear, non-monotone relationships,…

The McNemar test evaluates the hypothesis that two correlated proportion is common in $2 \times 2$ contingency tables with the same categories. This study discusses a test for symmetry in $2 \times 2$ contingency tables with nonignorable…
Platform trials evaluate the efficacy of multiple treatments, allowing for late entry of the experimental arms and enabling efficiency gains by sharing controls. The power of individual treatment-control comparisons in such trials can be…
Recently, the binary expansion testing framework was introduced to test the independence of two continuous random variables by utilizing symmetry statistics that are complete sufficient statistics for dependence. We develop a new test based…
