We study sample covariance matrices arising from multi-level components of variance. Thus, let $ B_n=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{j=1}^NT_{j}^{1/2}x_jx_j^TT_{j}^{1/2}$, where $x_j\in R^n$ are i.i.d. standard Gaussian, and…
The asymptotic normality for a large family of eigenvalue statistics of a general sample covariance matrix is derived under the ultra-high dimensional setting, that is, when the dimension to sample size ratio $p/n \to \infty$. Based on this…
Comparing large covariance matrices has important applications in modern genomics, where scientists are often interested in understanding whether relationships (e.g., dependencies or co-regulations) among a large number of genes vary…

Rao's spacing test is a widely used nonparametric method for assessing uniformity on the circle. However, its broader applicability in practical settings has been limited because the null distribution is not easily calculated. As a result,…
We consider the problem of testing whether a single coefficient is equal to zero in linear models when the dimension of covariates $p$ can be up to a constant fraction of sample size $n$. In this regime, an important topic is to propose…
