It has been a long history in testing whether a mean vector with a fixed dimension has a specified value. Some well-known tests include the Hotelling $T^2$-test and the empirical likelihood ratio test proposed by Owen [Biometrika 75 (1988)…
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…
For high-dimensional small sample size data, Hotelling's T2 test is not applicable for testing mean vectors due to the singularity problem in the sample covariance matrix. To overcome the problem, there are three main approaches in the…
A Cramer moderate deviation theorem for Hotelling's $T^2$-statistic is proved under a finite $(3+\delta)$th moment. The result is applied to large scale tests on the equality of mean vectors and is shown that the number of tests can be as…
Testing the equality of the covariance matrices of two high-dimensional samples is a fundamental inference problem in statistics. Several tests have been proposed but they are either too liberal or too conservative when the required…
Testing equality of mean vectors is a very commonly used criterion when comparing two multivariate random variables. Traditional tests such as Hotelling's T-squared become either unusable or output small power when the number of variables…
We propose a method of testing the shift between mean vectors of two multivariate Gaussian random variables in a high-dimensional setting incorporating the possible dependency and allowing $p > n$. This method is a combination of two…
This short note considers the problem of testing the null hypothesis that the mean values of two multivariate normal variables are proportional. We show that the usual likelihood ratio $\chi^2$-test is valid non-asymptotically. Our proof…
We consider the hypothesis testing problem of detecting a shift between the means of two multivariate normal distributions in the high-dimensional setting, allowing for the data dimension p to exceed the sample size n. Specifically, we…
For the mean vector test in high dimension, Ayyala et al.(2017,153:136-155) proposed new test statistics when the observational vectors are M dependent. Under certain conditions, the test statistics for one-same and two-sample cases were…
Hotelling's $T^2$ test is a classical approach for discriminating the means of two multivariate normal samples that share a population covariance matrix. Hotelling's test is not ideal for high-dimensional samples because the eigenvalues of…
Many tests have been proposed to remedy the classical Hotelling's $T^2$ test in the "large $p$, small $n$" paradigm, but the existence of an optimal sum-of-squares type test has not been explored. This paper shows that under certain…
Meta-analysis seeks to combine the results of several experiments in order to improve the accuracy of decisions. It is common to use a test for homogeneity to determine if the results of the several experiments are sufficiently similar to…
Most existing methods for testing equality of means of functional data from multiple populations rely on assumptions of equal covariance and/or Gaussianity. In this work we provide a new testing method based on a statistic that is…
We propose a two-sample test for detecting the difference between mean vectors in a high-dimensional regime based on a ridge-regularized Hotelling's $T^2$. To choose the regularization parameter, a method is derived that aims at maximizing…
This study presents a new procedure for necessary tests of multivariate normality based on the uniform distribution on the Stiefel manifold. We demonstrate that the test statistic, which is formed by the product of the scaled residual…
We study the problem of detecting multiple change points in the mean vectors of an independent sequence of high-dimensional observations. We propose a family of ridge-regularized CUSUM statistics built upon the adaptable ridge-regularized…

In high dimensions, the classical Hotelling's $T^2$ test tends to have low power or becomes undefined due to singularity of the sample covariance matrix. In this paper, this problem is overcome by projecting the data matrix onto lower…
We study ratio metrics in A/B testing at the presence of correlation among observations coming from the same user and provides practical guidance especially when two metrics contradict each other. We propose new estimating methods to…
