Let $(Y,(X_i)_{i\in\mathcal{I}})$ be a zero mean Gaussian vector and $V$ be a subset of $\mathcal{I}$. Suppose we are given $n$ i.i.d. replications of the vector $(Y,X)$. We propose a new test for testing that $Y$ is independent of…
This paper studies computational aspects of an asymptotically distribution-free goodness-of-fit test for non-Gaussian distributions based on the Khmaladze martingale transformation when the location and scale parameters of the distribution…
This paper addresses the multiple two-sample test problem in a graph-structured setting, which is a common scenario in fields such as Spatial Statistics and Neuroscience. Each node $v$ in fixed graph deals with a two-sample testing problem…
Two-sample tests for multivariate data and especially for non-Euclidean data are not well explored. This paper presents a novel test statistic based on a similarity graph constructed on the pooled observations from the two samples. It can…
In the statistical literature, as well as in artificial intelligence and machine learning, measures of discrepancy between two probability distributions are largely used to develop measures of goodness-of-fit. We concentrate on quadratic…
We consider goodness-of-fit tests with i.i.d. samples generated from a categorical distribution $(p_1,...,p_k)$. For a given $(q_1,...,q_k)$, we test the null hypothesis whether $p_j=q_{\pi(j)}$ for some label permutation $\pi$. The…
We propose a new class of goodness-of-fit tests for the inverse Gaussian distribution. The proposed tests are weighted $L^2$-type tests depending on a tuning parameter. We develop the asymptotic theory under the null hypothesis and under a…
The multivariate generalised Gaussian distribution (MGGD) is commonly used to model high-dimensional vectors with non-Gaussian radial behaviour, ranging from sharp-peaked to heavy-tailed profiles. However, because many classical…
Two-sample feature selection is the problem of finding features that describe a difference between two probability distributions, which is a ubiquitous problem in both scientific and engineering studies. However, existing methods have…
Goodness-of-fit tests gauge whether a given set of observations is consistent (up to expected random fluctuations) with arising as independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) draws from a user-specified probability distribution known…
Empirical cumulative distribution functions (ECDFs) have been used to test the hypothesis that two samples come from the same distribution since the seminal contribution by Kolmogorov and Smirnov. This paper describes a statistic which is…
A problem of goodness-of-fit test for ergodic diffusion processes is presented. In the null hypothesis the drift of the diffusion is supposed to be in a parametric form with unknown shift parameter. Two Cramer-Von Mises type test statistics…
In this paper we propose a Bayesian answer to testing problems when the hypotheses are not well separated. The idea of the method is to study the posterior distribution of a discrepancy measure between the parameter and the model we want to…
We consider the problem of the construction of the Goodness-of-Fit test in the case of continuous time observations of a diffusion process with small noise. The null hypothesis is parametric and we use a minimum distance estimator of the…
We propose a new test to address the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem involving different distribution functions in the two samples. Our procedure tests the null hypothesis $\mathcal{H}_0: \theta = \frac{1}{2}$, where $\theta = P(X<Y) +…
We consider a linear regression model and propose an omnibus test to simultaneously check the assumption of independence between the error and the predictor variables, and the goodness-of-fit of the parametric model. Our approach is based…
Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) tests rely on the convergence to zero of the KS-distance $d(F_n,G)$ in the one sample case, and of $d(F_n,G_m)$ in the two sample case. In each case the assumption (the null hypothesis) is that $F=G$, and so…
Due to the broad applications of elliptical models, there is a long line of research on goodness-of-fit tests for empirically validating them. However, the existing literature on this topic is generally confined to low-dimensional settings,…
Bivariate count models having one marginal and the other conditionals being of the Poissons form are called pseudo-Poisson distributions. Such models have simple exible dependence structures, possess fast computation algorithms and generate…
Big Data has become an ever more commonplace setting that is encountered by data analysts. In the Big Data setting, analysts are faced with very large numbers of observations as well as data that arrive as a stream, both of which are…
