This paper takes a different look on the problem of testing the mutual independence of the components of a high-dimensional vector. Instead of testing if all pairwise associations (e.g. all pairwise Kendall's $\tau$) between the components…
Statistical dependence between hypotheses poses a significant challenge to the stability of large scale multiple hypotheses testing. Ignoring it often results in an unacceptably large spread in the false positive proportion even though the…
The assumption of separability is a simplifying and very popular assumption in the analysis of spatio-temporal or hypersurface data structures. It is often made in situations where the covariance structure cannot be easily estimated, for…
We consider the hypothesis testing problem that two vertices $i$ and $j$ of a generalized random dot product graph have the same latent positions, possibly up to scaling. Special cases of this hypothesis test include testing whether two…
We consider statistical hypothesis testing simultaneously over a fairly general, possibly uncountably infinite, set of null hypotheses, under the assumption that a suitable single test (and corresponding $p$-value) is known for each…
The paper considers a paired data framework and discuss the question of marginal homogeneity of bivariate high dimensional or functional data. The related testing problem can be endowed into a more general setting for paired random…
Traditional methods for covariate adjustment of treatment means in designed experiments are inherently conditional on the observed covariate values. In order to develop a coherent general methodology for analysis of covariance, we propose a…
Power-enhanced tests with high-dimensional data have received growing attention in theoretical and applied statistics in recent years. Existing tests possess their respective high-power regions, and we may lack prior knowledge about the…
This article studies bootstrap inference for high dimensional weakly dependent time series in a general framework of approximately linear statistics. The following high dimensional applications are covered: (1) uniform confidence band for…
We introduce a rigorous and sensitive significance test for hyperuniformity that yields reliable results even from a single sample. Our approach is based on a detailed analysis of the empirical Fourier transform of a stationary point…
Some combinatorial designs, such as Hadamard matrices, have been extensively researched and are familiar to readers across the spectrum of Science and Engineering. They arise in diverse fields such as cryptography, communication theory, and…
This paper addresses hypothesis testing for the mean of matrix-valued data in high-dimensional settings. We investigate the minimum discrepancy test, originally proposed by Cragg (1997), which serves as a rank test for lower-dimensional…
Joint modeling of a large number of variables often requires dimension reduction strategies that lead to structural assumptions of the underlying correlation matrix, such as equal pair-wise correlations within subsets of variables. The…
Much effort has been done to control the "false discovery rate" (FDR) when $m$ hypotheses are tested simultaneously. The FDR is the expectation of the "false discovery proportion" $\text{FDP}=V/R$ given by the ratio of the number of false…
Change-point detection has been a classical problem in statistics and econometrics. This work focuses on the problem of detecting abrupt distributional changes in the data-generating distribution of a sequence of high-dimensional…
Considering multivariate strongly mixing time series, nonparametric tests for a constant copula with specified or unspecified change point (candidate) are derived; the tests are consistent against general alternatives. A tapered block…
Quantifying uncertainty and updating reliability are essential for ensuring the safety and performance of engineering systems. This study develops a hierarchical Bayesian modeling (HBM) framework to quantify uncertainty and update…
In qualitative statistics, permutation tests are very popular, mainly because of their finite-sample exactness under exchangeability. However, in non-exchangeable settings, the covariance structure of permuted statistics typically differs…
Symmetry plays a central role in the sciences, machine learning, and statistics. For situations in which data are known to obey a symmetry, a multitude of methods that exploit symmetry have been developed. Statistical tests for the presence…
Shape constraints yield flexible middle grounds between fully nonparametric and fully parametric approaches to modeling distributions of data. The specific assumption of log-concavity is motivated by applications across economics, survival…
