We study a class of hypothesis testing problems in which, upon observing the realization of an $n$-dimensional Gaussian vector, one has to decide whether the vector was drawn from a standard normal distribution or, alternatively, whether…

The Gaussian graphical model (GGM) incorporates an undirected graph to represent the conditional dependence between variables, with the precision matrix encoding partial correlation between pair of variables given the others. To achieve…

We propose a valid and consistent test for the hypothesis that two latent distance random graphs on the same vertex set have the same generating latent positions, up to some unidentifiable similarity transformations. Our test statistic is…

Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) are well-established tools for probabilistic exploration of dependence structures using precision matrices. We develop a Bayesian method to incorporate covariate information in this GGMs setup in a nonlinear…

In this paper, we study the problem of testing the equality of two multivariate distributions. One class of tests used for this purpose utilizes geometric graphs constructed using inter-point distances. So far, the asymptotic theory of…

In this paper we propose some linearizability tests of partial difference equations on a quad-graph given by one point, two points and generalized Hopf-Cole transformations. We apply the so obtained tests to a set of nontrivial examples.
