We study the asymptotic behavior of the data-driven Sobolev test for testing uniformity on the (hyper)sphere. We show that it can be blind to certain contiguous alternatives and propose a simple modification of the test statistic. This…
Joint modeling of a large number of variables often requires dimension reduction strategies that lead to structural assumptions of the underlying correlation matrix, such as equal pair-wise correlations within subsets of variables. The…
We treat the problem of testing for association between a functional variable belonging to Hilbert space and a scalar variable. Particularly, we propose a distribution-free test statistic based on Kendall's Tau which is one of the most…
We develop a new rank-based approach for univariate two-sample testing in the presence of missing data which makes no assumptions about the missingness mechanism. This approach is a theoretical extension of the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test…
Although the assumption of elliptical symmetry is quite common in multivariate analysis and widespread in a number of applications, the problem of testing the null hypothesis of ellipticity so far has not been addressed in a fully…
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…
Online experiments are widely used for improving online services. While doing online experiments, The student t-test is the most widely used hypothesis testing technique. In practice, however, the normality assumption on which the t-test…
A common problem in genetics is that of testing whether a set of highly dependent gene expressions differ between two populations, typically in a high-dimensional setting where the data dimension is larger than the sample size. Most…
The problem of detecting changes in covariance for a single pair of features has been studied in some detail, but may be limited in importance or general applicability. In contrast, testing equality of covariance matrices of a {\it set} of…
Test statistics which are invariant under various subgroups of the orthogonal group are shown to provide tests whose powers are asymptotically equal to their level against the usual type of contiguous alternative in models where the number…
We consider the problem of testing whether pairs of univariate random variables are associated. Few tests of independence exist that are consistent against all dependent alternatives and are distribution free. We propose novel tests that…
Two-sample tests utilizing a similarity graph on observations are useful for high-dimensional and non-Euclidean data due to their flexibility and good performance under a wide range of alternatives. Existing works mainly focused on sparse…
Subjects in clinical studies that investigate paired body parts can carry a disease on either both sides (bilateral) or a single side (unilateral) of the organs. Data in such studies may consist of both bilateral and unilateral records.…
For a multinormal distribution with a $p$-dimensional mean vector ${\mbtheta}$ and an arbitrary unknown dispersion matrix ${\mbSigma}$, Rao ([9], [10]) proposed two tests for the problem of testing $ H_{0}:{\mbtheta}_{1} = {\bf 0},…
For the multi-sample equal covariance function (ECF) testing problem, Zhang (2013) proposed an $L^{2}$-norm based test. However, its asymptotic power and finite sample performance have not been studied. In this paper, its asymptotic power…
An important class of two-sample multivariate homogeneity tests is based on identifying differences between the distributions of interpoint distances. While generating distances from point clouds offers a straightforward and intuitive way…
When applying multivariate extreme value statistics to analyze tail risk in compound events defined by a multivariate random vector, one often assumes that all dimensions share the same extreme value index. While such an assumption can be…
This paper studies optimal hypothesis testing for nonregular econometric models with parameter-dependent support. We consider both one-sided and two-sided hypothesis testing and develop asymptotically uniformly most powerful tests based on…
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…
We consider a compressed sensing problem in which both the measurement and the sparsifying systems are assumed to be frames (not necessarily tight) of the underlying Hilbert space of signals, which may be finite or infinite dimensional. The…
