In this paper, a novel Bayesian nonparametric test for assessing multivariate normal models is presented. While there are extensive frequentist and graphical methods for testing multivariate normality, it is challenging to find Bayesian…
In the past decade, various exact balancing-based weighting methods were introduced to the causal inference literature. Exact balancing alleviates the extreme weight and model misspecification issues that may incur when one implements…
Randomization ensures that observed and unobserved covariates are balanced, on average. However, randomizing units to treatment and control often leads to covariate imbalances in realization, and such imbalances can inflate the variance of…
The comparison of multivariate population means is a central task of statistical inference. While statistical theory provides a variety of analysis tools, they usually do not protect individuals' privacy. This knowledge can create…
A multivariate signal denoising method is proposed which employs a novel multivariate goodness of fit (GoF) test that is applied at multiple data scales obtained from discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In the proposed multivariate GoF test,…
Rerandomization, a design that utilizes pretreatment covariates and improves their balance between different treatment groups, has received attention recently in both theory and practice. From a survey by Bruhn and McKenzie (2009), there…
We propose a novel semiparametric classifier based on Mahalanobis distances of an observation from the competing classes. Our tool is a generalized additive model with the logistic link function that uses these distances as features to…
Equivalence testing plays a key role in several domains, such as the development of generic medical products, which are therapeutically equivalent to brand-name drugs but with reduced cost and increased accessibility. Promoting access to…
We present analytical expressions for the means and covariances of the sample distribution of the cross-validated Mahalanobis distance. This measure has proven to be especially useful in the context of representational similarity analysis…
For many machine learning algorithms such as $k$-Nearest Neighbor ($k$-NN) classifiers and $ k $-means clustering, often their success heavily depends on the metric used to calculate distances between different data points. An effective…
Classical multivariate statistics measures the outlyingness of a point by its Mahalanobis distance from the mean, which is based on the mean and the covariance matrix of the data. A multivariate depth function is a function which, given a…
Mahalanobis distance is a classical tool in multivariate analysis. We suggest here an extension of this concept to the case of functional data. More precisely, the proposed definition concerns those statistical problems where the sample…
Under the null hypothesis, the marginal probability of the positive response is symmetric at any specified correlated coefficient, and the discordance probability is also symmetric to the positive response probability. The marginal…
In the field of machine learning, model performance is usually assessed by randomly splitting data into training and test sets. Different random splits, however, can yield markedly different performance estimates, so a genuinely good model…
Modern high-throughput biomedical devices routinely produce data on a large scale, and the analysis of high-dimensional datasets has become commonplace in biomedical studies. However, given thousands or tens of thousands of measured…
The Mahalanobis distance is commonly used in multi-object trackers for measurement-to-track association. Starting with the original definition of the Mahalanobis distance we review its use in association. Given that there is no principle in…
In this manuscript, we propose a multiclass data description model based on kernel Mahalanobis distance (MDD-KM) with self-adapting hyperparameter setting. MDD-KM provides uncertainty quantification and can be deployed to build…
A framework for assessing the matrix variate normality of three-way data is developed. The framework comprises a visual method and a goodness of fit test based on the Mahalanobis squared distance (MSD). The MSD of multivariate and matrix…
Equivalence testing, a fundamental problem in the field of distribution testing, seeks to infer if two unknown distributions on $[n]$ are the same or far apart in the total variation distance. Conditional sampling has emerged as a powerful…
Statistical models are inherently uncertain. Quantifying or at least upper-bounding their uncertainties is vital for safety-critical systems such as autonomous vehicles. While standard neural networks do not report this information, several…
