When the outcome of interest is semicontinuous and collected longitudinally, efficient testing can be difficult. Daily rainfall data is an excellent example which we use to illustrate the various challenges. Even under the simplest…
The paper presents new metrics to quantify and test for (i) the equality of distributions and (ii) the independence between two high-dimensional random vectors. We show that the energy distance based on the usual Euclidean distance cannot…
In this paper, we investigate score function-based tests to check the significance of an ultrahigh-dimensional sub-vector of the model coefficients when the nuisance parameter vector is also ultrahigh-dimensional in linear models. We first…
A fundamental challenge in comparing two survival distributions with right censored data is the selection of an appropriate nonparametric test, as the power of standard tests like the Log rank and Wilcoxon is highly dependent on the often…
For a set of dependent random variables, without stationary or the strong mixing assumptions, we derive the asymptotic independence between their sums and maxima. Then we apply this result to high-dimensional testing problems, where we…
A new family of nonparametric statistics, the r-statistics, is introduced. It consists of counting the number of records of the cumulative sum of the sample. The single-sample r-statistic is almost as powerful as Student's t-statistic for…
The log-normal distribution is one of the most common distributions used for modeling skewed and positive data. It frequently arises in many disciplines of science, specially in the biological and medical sciences. The statistical analysis…
This article is concerned with simultaneous tests on linear regression coefficients in high-dimensional settings. When the dimensionality is larger than the sample size, the classic $F$-test is not applicable since the sample covariance…
A new method based on the rejection sampling for finding statistical tests is proposed. This method is conceptually intuitive, easy to implement, and applicable for arbitrary dimension. To illustrate its potential applicability, three…
So-called linear rank statistics provide a means for distribution-free (even in finite samples), yet highly flexible, two-sample testing in the setting of univariate random variables. Their flexibility derives from a choice of weights that…
Modern, high dimensional data has renewed investigation on instrumental variables (IV) analysis, primarily focusing on estimation of effects of endogenous variables and putting little attention towards specification tests. This paper…
The comparison of proportions is considered in the asymptotic generalized linear model with the odds ratio as effect size. When several doses are compared with a control assuming an order restriction, a Williams-type trend test can be used.…
We present a comprehensive study on meaningfully evaluating sign language utterances in the form of human skeletal poses. The study covers keypoint distance-based, embedding-based, and back-translation-based metrics. We show tradeoffs…
In this paper, the $k$ sample Behrens-Fisher problem is investigated in high dimensional setting. We propose a new test statistic and demonstrate that the proposed test is expected to have more powers than some existing test especially when…
The comparison of alternative rankings of a set of items is a general and prominent task in applied statistics. Predictor variables are ranked according to magnitude of association with an outcome, prediction models rank subjects according…
Extending to dimension 2 and higher the dual univariate concepts of ranks and quantiles has remained an open problem for more than half a century. Based on measure transportation results, a solution has been proposed recently under the name…
Despite advances in representation learning, high-dimensional classification remains challenging in low-sample-size regimes, where the dominant signal may vary across applications and labeled data are often limited. We propose a…
Signature verification, as a crucial practical documentation analysis task, has been continuously studied by researchers in machine learning and pattern recognition fields. In specific scenarios like confirming financial documents and legal…
Rank-based approaches are among the most popular nonparametric methods for univariate data in tackling statistical problems such as hypothesis testing due to their robustness and effectiveness. However, they are unsatisfactory for more…
We develop some graph-based tests for spherical symmetry of a multivariate distribution using a method based on data augmentation. These tests are constructed using a new notion of signs and ranks that are computed along a path obtained by…
