In this paper we propose a nonparametric graphical test based on optimal matching, for assessing the equality of multiple unknown multivariate probability distributions. Our procedure pools the data from the different classes to create a…

In a multiple testing context, we consider a semiparametric mixture model with two components where one component is known and corresponds to the distribution of $p$-values under the null hypothesis and the other component $f$ is…

This paper introduces a novel two-sample test for a broad class of orthogonally equivalent positive definite symmetric matrix distributions. Our test is the first of its kind and we derive its asymptotic distribution. To estimate the test…
