I propose two U-statistics to test coefficients in generalized linear models. One of them is used to deal with global hypothesis and the other one to test with the nuisance parameter. Both the statistics proposed are within high-dimensional…

In the Gaussian sequence model $Y=\mu+\xi$, we study the likelihood ratio test (LRT) for testing $H_0: \mu=\mu_0$ versus $H_1: \mu \in K$, where $\mu_0 \in K$, and $K$ is a closed convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, we show that…
