In the context of high-dimensional data, we investigate the one-sample location testing problem. We introduce a max-type test based on the weighted spatial sign, which exhibits exceptional performance, particularly in the presence of sparse…

We propose a new procedure for white noise testing of a functional time series. Our approach is based on an explicit representation of the $L^2$-distance between the spectral density operator and its best ($L^2$-)approximation by a spectral…

We consider the problem of detecting deviations from a white noise assumption in time series. Our approach differs from the numerous methods proposed for this purpose with respect to two aspects. First, we allow for non-stationary time…

This paper studies alpha testing in a high-dimensional conditional time-varying factor model with temporally dependent observations. Both factor loadings and alpha processes are allowed to vary smoothly over time, and the cross-sectional…

This paper presents a bootstrapped p-value white noise test based on the maximum correlation, for a time series that may be weakly dependent under the null hypothesis. The time series may be prefiltered residuals. The test statistic is a…

We study the problem of detection of a high-dimensional signal function in the white Gaussian noise model. As well as a smoothness assumption on the signal function, we assume an additive sparse condition on the latter. The detection…

The problem of testing the equality of mean vectors for high-dimensional data has been intensively investigated in the literature. However, most of the existing tests impose strong assumptions on the underlying group covariance matrices…

Ordinary differential equation models are used to describe dynamic processes across biology. To perform likelihood-based parameter inference on these models, it is necessary to specify a statistical process representing the contribution of…

We develop an efficient and robust high-dimensional sparse Fourier algorithm for noisy samples. Earlier in the paper ``Multi-dimensional sublinear sparse Fourier algorithm" (2016), an efficient sparse Fourier algorithm with $\Theta(ds \log…

This paper explores conditions of existence of different types of consistent tests. New links of these types of consistency are also established. The existence of discernible (strong consistent) tests follows from the existence of pointwise…

We propose a two-sample test for covariance matrices in the high-dimensional regime, where the dimension diverges proportionally to the sample size. Our hybrid test combines a Frobenius-norm-based statistic as considered in Li and Chen…

After variable selection, standard inferential procedures for regression parameters may not be uniformly valid; there is no finite-sample size at which a standard test is guaranteed to approximately attain its nominal size. This problem is…

This paper develops a new framework for alpha testing in high-dimensional factor pricing models with time-varying coefficients. To detect sparse alternatives, we propose a spatial-sign-based max-type test and derive its limiting null…

In this paper, we develop new statistical theory for probabilistic principal component analysis models in high dimensions. The focus is the estimation of the noise variance, which is an important and unresolved issue when the number of…

A multivariate score-driven filter is developed to extract signals from noisy vector processes. By assuming that the conditional location vector from a multivariate Student's t distribution changes over time, we construct a robust filter…

Higher criticism is a method for detecting signals that are both sparse and weak. Although first proposed in cases where the noise variables are independent, higher criticism also has reasonable performance in settings where those variables…

Understanding statistical inference under possibly non-sparse high-dimensional models has gained much interest recently. For a given component of the regression coefficient, we show that the difficulty of the problem depends on the sparsity…
