We consider the task of Gaussian mean testing, that is, of testing whether a high-dimensional vector perturbed by white noise has large magnitude, or is the zero vector. This question, originating from the signal processing community, has…

Many commonly used test statistics are based on a norm measuring the evidence against the null hypothesis. To understand how the choice of a norm affects power properties of tests in high dimensions, we study the consistency sets of…
