This paper presents new families of Rao-type test statistics based on the minimum density power divergence estimators which provide robust generalizations for testing simple and composite null hypotheses. The asymptotic null distributions…
Rao's spacing test is a widely used nonparametric method for assessing uniformity on the circle. However, its broader applicability in practical settings has been limited because the null distribution is not easily calculated. As a result,…
For random samples of size n obtained from p-variate normal distributions, we consider the classical likelihood ratio tests (LRT) for their means and covariance matrices in the high-dimensional setting. These test statistics have been…
In the fields of neuroimaging and genetics, a key goal is testing the association of a single outcome with a very high-dimensional imaging or genetic variable. Often, summary measures of the high-dimensional variable are created to…
Let ${\bf R}$ be the Pearson correlation matrix of $m$ normal random variables. The Rao's score test for the independence hypothesis $H_0 : {\bf R} = {\bf I}_m$, where ${\bf I}_m$ is the identity matrix of dimension $m$, was first…
Relational data are often represented as a square matrix, the entries of which record the relationships between pairs of objects. Many statistical methods for the analysis of such data assume some degree of similarity or dependence between…

Score-based tests have been used to study parameter heterogeneity across many types of statistical models. This chapter describes a new self-normalization approach for score-based tests of mixed models, which addresses situations where…
The classic likelihood ratio test for testing the equality of two covariance matrices breakdowns due to the singularity of the sample covariance matrices when the data dimension $p$ is larger than the sample size $n$. In this paper, we…
Multivariate linear regressions are widely used statistical tools in many applications to model the associations between multiple related responses and a set of predictors. To infer such associations, it is often of interest to test the…
In this letter we propose the Rao test as a simpler alternative to the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) for multisensor fusion. We consider sensors observing an unknown deterministic parameter with symmetric and unimodal noise. A…

Many probabilistic models that have an intractable normalizing constant may be extended to contain covariates. Since the evaluation of the exact likelihood is difficult or even impossible for these models, score matching was proposed to…
Testing covariance structure is of importance in many areas of statistical analysis, such as microarray analysis and signal processing. Conventional tests for finite-dimensional covariance cannot be applied to high-dimensional data in…
We consider the problem of testing whether a correlation matrix of a multivariate normal population is the identity matrix. We focus on sparse classes of alternatives where only a few entries are nonzero and, in fact, positive. We derive a…
We propose a likelihood ratio test framework for testing normal mean vectors in high-dimensional data under two common scenarios: the one-sample test and the two-sample test with equal covariance matrices. We derive the test statistics…

There are many tests for determining the convergence or divergence of series. The test of Raabe and the test of Betrand are relatively unknown and do not appear in most classical courses of analysis. Also, the link between these tests and…
While the problem of testing multivariate normality has received considerable attention in the classical low-dimensional setting where the sample size $n$ is much larger than the feature dimension $d$ of the data, there is presently a…
