We consider two-sample tests for high-dimensional data under two disjoint models: the strongly spiked eigenvalue (SSE) model and the non-SSE (NSSE) model. We provide a general test statistic as a function of a positive-semidefinite matrix.…

The Stein paradox has played an influential role in the field of high dimensional statistics. This result warns that the sample mean, classically regarded as the "usual estimator", may be suboptimal in high dimensions. The development of…
