In this paper we consider testing the equality of probability vectors of two independent multinomial distributions in high dimension. The classical chi-square test may have some drawbacks in this case since many of cell counts may be zero…

I propose two U-statistics to test coefficients in generalized linear models. One of them is used to deal with global hypothesis and the other one to test with the nuisance parameter. Both the statistics proposed are within high-dimensional…

Motivated by the latest effort to employ banded matrices to estimate a high-dimensional covariance $\Sigma$, we propose a test for $\Sigma$ being banded with possible diverging bandwidth. The test is adaptive to the "large $p$, small $n$"…

Two-sample tests are important areas aiming to determine whether two collections of observations follow the same distribution or not. We propose two-sample tests based on integral probability metric (IPM) for high-dimensional samples…

Due to their parsimony, separable covariance models have been popular in modeling matrix-variate data. However, the inference from such a model may be misleading if the population covariance matrix $\Sigma$ is actually non-separable,…

In this work, we are motivated by the recent work of Zhang et al. (2019) and study a new invariant test for equality of two large scale covariance matrices. Two modified likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) by Zhang et al. (2019) are based on the…

Consider two random variables contaminated by two unknown transformations. The aim of this paper is to test the equality of those transformations. Two cases are distinguished: first, the two random variables have known distributions.…

Given two networks of differing sizes, it is of interest to test whether the two networks belong to the same distribution. We formalize the notion of "equality of distribution" under the framework of the generalized random dot product…

Classical two-sample permutation tests for equality of distributions have exact size in finite samples, but they fail to control size for testing equality of parameters that summarize each distribution. This paper proposes permutation tests…

Motivated by the likelihood ratio test under the Gaussian assumption, we develop a maximum sum-of-squares test for conducting hypothesis testing on high dimensional mean vector. The proposed test which incorporates the dependence among the…

Testing equality of mean vectors is a very commonly used criterion when comparing two multivariate random variables. Traditional tests such as Hotelling's T-squared become either unusable or output small power when the number of variables…

In this paper, we develop a systematic theory for high dimensional analysis of variance in multivariate linear regression, where the dimension and the number of coefficients can both grow with the sample size. We propose a new \emph{U}~type…

This article concerns tests for the two-sample location problem when the dimension is larger than the sample size. The traditional multivariate-rank-based procedures cannot be used in high dimensional settings because the sample scatter…

The asymptotic normality for a large family of eigenvalue statistics of a general sample covariance matrix is derived under the ultra-high dimensional setting, that is, when the dimension to sample size ratio $p/n \to \infty$. Based on this…
