The circular law asserts that the spectral measure of eigenvalues of rescaled random matrices without symmetry assumption converges to the uniform measure on the unit disk. We prove a local version of this law at any point $z$ away from the…
New nonparametric tests of copula exchangeability and radial symmetry are proposed. The novel aspect of the tests is a resampling procedure that exploits group invariance conditions associated with the relevant symmetry hypothesis. They may…
In many applications common in testing for convergence the number of cross-sectional units is large and the number of time periods are few. In these situations asymptotic tests based on an omnibus null hypothesis are characterised by a…

We consider the problem of testing whether a multivariate distribution is axially symmetric about some unknown direction. Under a simple-spectrum assumption on the covariance matrix, any symmetry axis must coincide with an eigenvector of…
The assumption of elliptical symmetry has an important role in many theoretical developments and applications, hence it is of primary importance to be able to test whether that assumption actually holds true or not. Various tests have been…
We propose three test criteria each of which is appropriate for testing, respectively, the equivalence hypotheses of symmetry, of homogeneity, and of independence, with multivariate data. All quantities have the common feature of involving…
We analyze the asymptotic fluctuations of linear eigenvalue statistics of random centrosymmetric matrices with i.i.d. entries. We prove that for a complex analytic test function, the centered and normalized linear eigenvalue statistics of…
