Estimation and hypothesis tests for the covariance matrix in high dimensions is a challenging problem as the traditional multivariate asymptotic theory is no longer valid. When the dimension is larger than or increasing with the sample…

We propose a two-sample test for covariance matrices in the high-dimensional regime, where the dimension diverges proportionally to the sample size. Our hybrid test combines a Frobenius-norm-based statistic as considered in Li and Chen…

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…

Machine-learning classifiers can be leveraged as a two-sample statistical test. Suppose each sample is assigned a different label and that a classifier can obtain a better-than-chance result discriminating them. In this case, we can infer…

We propose a novel kernel-based two-sample test that leverages the spectral decomposition of the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) statistic to identify and utilize well-estimated directional components in reproducing kernel Hilbert space…

We discuss a one-sample location test that can be used in the case of high-dimensional data. For high-dimensional data, the power of Hotelling's test decrises when the dimension is close to the sample size. To address this loss of power,…
