We present new families of goodness-of-fit tests of uniformity on a full-dimensional set $W\subset\R^d$ based on statistics related to edge lengths of random geometric graphs. Asymptotic normality of these statistics is proven under the…
It has recently been shown that there are substantial differences in the regularity behavior of the empirical process based on scalar diffusions as compared to the classical empirical process, due to the existence of diffusion local time.…
This paper adresses the problem of testing for the equality of $k$ probability distributions on Hilbert spaces, with $k\geqslant 2$. We introduce a generalization of the maximum variance discrepancy called multiple maximum variance…
In this paper, we present a general framework for testing relevant hypotheses in functional time series. Our unified approach covers one-sample, two-sample, and change point problems under contaminated observations with arbitrary sampling…
We consider box-constrained robust optimisation problems with implementation uncertainty. In this setting, the solution that a decision maker wants to implement may become perturbed. The aim is to find a solution that optimises the worst…
We develop an averaging approach to robust risk measurement under payoff uncertainty. Instead of taking a worst-case value over an uncertainty neighborhood, we weight nearby payoffs more heavily under a chosen metric and average the…
We present a framework for merging unit tests for autonomous systems. Typically, it is intractable to test an autonomous system for every scenario in its operating environment. The question of whether it is possible to design a single test…
The standard paired-sample testing approach in the multidimensional setting applies multiple univariate tests on the individual features, followed by p-value adjustments. Such an approach suffers when the data carry numerous features. A…
We give a simple conceptual proof of the consistency of a test for multivariate uniformity in a bounded set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ that is based on the maximal spacing generated by i.i.d. points $X_1, \ldots,X_n$ in $K$, i.e., the volume…
We introduce a framework for designing efficient diffusion models for $d$-dimensional symmetric-space Riemannian manifolds, including the torus, sphere, special orthogonal group and unitary group. Existing manifold diffusion models often…
Motivated by the likelihood ratio test under the Gaussian assumption, we develop a maximum sum-of-squares test for conducting hypothesis testing on high dimensional mean vector. The proposed test which incorporates the dependence among the…
The concept of hyperuniformity has been introduced by Torquato and Stillinger in 2003 as a notion to detect structural behaviour intermediate between amorphous disorder and crystalline order. The present paper studies a generalisation of…
We introduce estimation and test procedures through divergence optimization for discrete or continuous parametric models. This approach is based on a new dual representation for divergences. We treat point estimation and tests for simple…
In this paper we study decay of correlations and limit theorems for generalized baker's transformations. Our examples are piecewise non-uniformly hyperbolic maps on the unit square that posses two spatially separated lines of indifferent…
Previously unknown estimates of uniform continuity of projection operators in Banach space have been obtained. They can be used in the investigations of approximation methods, in particular, the method of quasisolutions, methods of…
This paper extends a recently proposed family of EDF-based goodness-of-fit procedures for the hypercube $[0,1]^p$ - the m-test and the s-test - which are based on a unique deconstruction of the $p$-parameter Brownian sheet into independent…
A survey of goodness-of-fit and symmetry tests based on the characterization properties of distributions is presented. This approach became popular in recent years. In most cases the test statistics are functionals of $U$-empirical…
This paper presents uniform estimation and inference theory for a large class of nonparametric partitioning-based M-estimators. The main theoretical results include: (i) uniform consistency for convex and non-convex objective functions;…
This paper provides a unifying view of optimal kernel hypothesis testing across the MMD two-sample, HSIC independence, and KSD goodness-of-fit frameworks. Minimax optimal separation rates in the kernel and $L^2$ metrics are presented, with…
We study various generalizations of concentration of measure on the unit sphere, in particular by means of log-Sobolev inequalities. First, we show Sudakov-type concentration results and local semicircular laws for weighted random matrices.…
