Testing the equality of the covariance matrices of two high-dimensional samples is a fundamental inference problem in statistics. Several tests have been proposed but they are either too liberal or too conservative when the required…

Cram\'{e}r-type large deviations for means of samples from a finite population are established under weak conditions. The results are comparable to results for the so-called self-normalized large deviation for independent random variables.…

Let $X_1,\dots, X_n$ be independent and identically distributed random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Suppose $\mathbb{E} X_1=0$, $\mathrm{Cov}(X_1)=I_d$, where $I_d$ is the $d\times d$ identity matrix. Suppose further that there exist positive…

We study the Cram\'er type moderate deviation for partial sums of random fields by applying the conjugate method. The results are applicable to the partial sums of linear random fields with short or long memory and to nonparametric…

Meta-analysis seeks to combine the results of several experiments in order to improve the accuracy of decisions. It is common to use a test for homogeneity to determine if the results of the several experiments are sufficiently similar to…

In this paper, we propose a new approach to the investigation of asymptotic properties of trimmed $L$-statistics and we apply it to the Cram\'{e}r type large deviation problem. Our results can be compared with ones in Callaert et al.(1982)…
