In this paper, we develop optimal tests for symmetry on the hyper-dimensional torus, leveraging Le Cam's methodology. We address both scenarios where the center of symmetry is known and where it is unknown. These tests are not only valid…

We propose a test of many zero parameter restrictions in a high dimensional linear iid regression model with $k$ $>>$ $n$ regressors. The test statistic is formed by estimating key parameters one at a time based on many low dimension…

Asymptotic methods for hypothesis testing in high-dimensional data usually require the dimension of the observations to increase to infinity, often with an additional condition on its rate of increase compared to the sample size. On the…
