We study asymmetric rank-one spiked tensor models in the high-dimensional regime, where the noise entries are independent and identically distributed with zero mean, unit variance, and finite fourth moment. This extends the classical…

We study the statistical limits of both detecting and estimating a rank-one deformation of a symmetric random Gaussian tensor. We establish upper and lower bounds on the critical signal-to-noise ratio, under a variety of priors for the…

Consider a spiked random tensor obtained as a mixture of two components: noise in the form of a symmetric Gaussian $p$-tensor for $p\geq 3$ and signal in the form of a symmetric low-rank random tensor. The latter is defined as a linear…

Given $p$-dimensional Gaussian vectors $X_i \stackrel{iid}{\sim} N(0, \Sigma)$, $1 \leq i \leq n$, where $p \geq n$, we are interested in testing a null hypothesis where $\Sigma = I_p$ against an alternative hypothesis where all eigenvalues…
