Two-sample testing is a fundamental problem in statistics. Despite its long history, there has been renewed interest in this problem with the advent of high-dimensional and complex data. Specifically, in the machine learning literature,…

It is of great interest to test the equality of the means in two samples of functional data. Past research has predominantly concentrated on low-dimensional functional data, a focus that may not hold up in high-dimensional scenarios. In…

We propose a two-sample test for the means of high-dimensional data when the data dimension is much larger than the sample size. Hotelling's classical $T^2$ test does not work for this "large $p$, small $n$" situation. The proposed test…

The energy test is a powerful binning-free, multi-dimensional and distribution-free tool that can be applied to compare a measurement to a given prediction (goodness-of-fit) or to check whether two data samples originate from the same…

Two-sample hypothesis testing-determining whether two sets of data are drawn from the same distribution-is a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning with broad scientific applications. In the context of nonparametric testing,…

In high dimensions, the classical Hotelling's $T^2$ test tends to have low power or becomes undefined due to singularity of the sample covariance matrix. In this paper, this problem is overcome by projecting the data matrix onto lower…

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to test the equality of high-dimensional mean vectors of several populations via the weighted $L_2$-norm. We establish the asymptotic normality of the test statistics under the null hypothesis. We…

We investigate the large-sample behavior of change-point tests based on weighted two-sample U-statistics, in the case of short-range dependent data. Under some mild mixing conditions, we establish convergence of the test statistic to an…

We consider multivariate two-sample tests of means, where the location shift between the two populations is expected to be related to a known graph structure. An important application of such tests is the detection of differentially…

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…

Many statistical methodologies for high-dimensional data assume the population is normal. Although a few multivariate normality tests have been proposed, to the best of our knowledge, none of them can properly control the type I error when…
