Hypothesis testing in singular statistical models is often regarded as inherently problematic due to non-identifiability and degeneracy of the Fisher information. We show that the fundamental obstruction to testing in such models is not…
Testing the equality of two high-dimensional mean vectors is a fundamental problem in multivariate analysis. While the classical Hotelling's $T^2$ test is optimal in low-dimensional settings, it fails when the dimension $p$ is comparable to…

We study the universality property of estimators for high-dimensional linear models, which implies that the distribution of estimators is independent of whether the covariates follow a Gaussian distribution. Recent developments in…

Experiments often yield non-identically distributed data for statistical analysis. Tests of hypothesis under such set-ups are generally performed using the likelihood ratio test, which is non-robust with respect to outliers and model…
