We explore the size of the largest (permuted) triangular submatrix of a random matrix, and more precisely its asymptotical behavior as the size of the ambient matrix tends to infinity. The importance of such permuted triangular submatrices…

In this paper we study goodness-of-fit testing of single-index models. The large sample behavior of certain score-type test statistics is investigated. As a by-product, we obtain asymptotically distribution-free maximin tests for a large…

We develop a systematic, omnibus approach to goodness-of-fit testing for parametric distributional models when the variable of interest is only partially observed due to censoring and/or truncation. In many such designs, tests based on the…

Pairs of states, or "boxes" are the basic objects in the resource theory of asymmetric distinguishability (Wang and Wilde, 2019), where free operations are arbitrary quantum channels that are applied to both states. From this point of view,…
