The gold standard for identifying causal relationships is a randomized controlled experiment. In many applications in the social sciences and medicine, the researcher does not control the assignment mechanism and instead may rely upon…
Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST) has long been central to the scientific project, guiding theory development and supporting evidence-based intervention and decision-making. Recent years, however, have seen growing awareness of…
Random numbers are incredibly important in a variety of fields, and the need for their validation remains important for safety. A Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) can theoretically generate truly random numbers, however their quality…
Classical Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a statistical-mechanical framework to analyze fluids, which accounts for nanoscale fluid inhomogeneities and non-local intermolecular interactions. DFT can be applied to a wide range of…
Various statistical tests have been developed for testing the equality of means in matched pairs with missing values. However, most existing methods are commonly based on certain distributional assumptions such as normality, 0-symmetry or…
Given an $n$-length input signal $\mbf{x}$, it is well known that its Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), $\mbf{X}$, can be computed in $O(n \log n)$ complexity using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). If the spectrum $\mbf{X}$ is exactly…
Testing for differences in features between clusters in various applications often leads to inflated false positives when practitioners use the same dataset to identify clusters and then test features, an issue commonly known as ``double…
Data-driven most powerful tests are statistical hypothesis decision-making tools that deliver the greatest power against a fixed null hypothesis among all corresponding data-based tests of a given size. When the underlying data…
A test based on tapering is proposed for use in testing a global linear hypothesis under a functional linear model. The test statistic is constructed as a weighted sum of squared linear combinations of Fourier coefficients, a tapered…
Traffic forecasting, a crucial application of spatio-temporal graph (STG) learning, has traditionally relied on deterministic models for accurate point estimations. Yet, these models fall short of quantifying future uncertainties. Recently,…
A significant obstacle in the development of robust machine learning models is covariate shift, a form of distribution shift that occurs when the input distributions of the training and test sets differ while the conditional label…
We study the problem of independence testing given independent and identically distributed pairs taking values in a $\sigma$-finite, separable measure space. Defining a natural measure of dependence $D(f)$ as the squared $L^2$-distance…
In this paper, we develop a simple non-parametric test for testing normal distribution based on the distance between empirical zero-bias transformation and empirical distribution. The asymptotic properties of the test statistic are studied.…

The distribution function of a random distance in three dimensions is given and some new three-dimensional d2-tests of randomness are suggested. We show that our test statistics are not correlated with the usual test statistics and are…
In many processes, the variations in underlying characteristics can be approximated by noisy multi-periodic patterns. If large-scale patterns are superimposed by a noise with long-range correlations, the detection of multi-periodic patterns…
