In this note, we claim that diagonal scaling of a sample covariance matrix is asymptotically inconsistent if the ratio of the dimension to the sample size converges to a positive constant, where population is assumed to be Gaussian with a…
Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) has been widely used in the areas of machine learning and statistics to quantify the distance between two distributions in the $p$-dimensional Euclidean space. The asymptotic property of the sample MMD has…
In this article, we propose a new class of consistent tests for $p$-variate normality. These tests are based on the characterization of the standard multivariate normal distribution, that the Hessian of the corresponding cumulant generating…
A block covariance structure is widely observed across large-scale and high-dimensional datasets in diverse fields such as biology, medicine, engineering, economics, and finance. This pattern entails partitioning a covariance matrix into…
We study the problem of testing whether the missing values of a potentially high-dimensional dataset are Missing Completely at Random (MCAR). We relax the problem of testing MCAR to the problem of testing the compatibility of a collection…
Due to their parsimony, separable covariance models have been popular in modeling matrix-variate data. However, the inference from such a model may be misleading if the population covariance matrix $\Sigma$ is actually non-separable,…
We consider a nonlinear polynomial regression model in which we wish to test the null hypothesis of structural stability in the regression parameters against the alternative of a break at an unknown time. We derive the extreme value…
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…
Based on two independent samples X_1,...,X_m and X_{m+1},...,X_n drawn from multivariate distributions with unknown Lebesgue densities p and q respectively, we propose an exact multiple test in order to identify simultaneously regions of…
This manuscript presents an approach to perform generalized linear regression with multiple high dimensional covariance matrices as the outcome. Model parameters are proposed to be estimated by maximizing a pseudo-likelihood. When the data…
A dimension reduction-based adaptive-to-model test is proposed for significance of a subset of covariates in the context of a nonparametric regression model. Unlike existing local smoothing significance tests, the new test behaves like a…
This paper is motivated by the comparison of genetic networks based on microarray samples. The aim is to test whether the differences observed between two inferred Gaussian graphical models come from real differences or arise from…
We consider high-dimensional estimation problems where the number of parameters diverges with the sample size. General conditions are established for consistency, uniqueness, and asymptotic normality in both unpenalized and penalized…
In applied multivariate statistics, estimating the number of latent dimensions or the number of clusters, $k$, is a fundamental and recurring problem. We study a sequence of statistics called "cross-validated eigenvalues." Under a large…
We propose a two-sample mean test based on the Bayes factor with non-informative priors, specifically designed for scenarios where the dimension $p$ grows with the sample size $n$ with a linear rate $p/n \to c_1 \in (0, \infty)$. We…
We develop some graph-based tests for spherical symmetry of a multivariate distribution using a method based on data augmentation. These tests are constructed using a new notion of signs and ranks that are computed along a path obtained by…
In this article, we consider the problem of simultaneous testing of hypotheses when the individual test statistics are not necessarily independent. Specifically, we consider the problem of simultaneous testing of point null hypotheses…
The statistical analysis of discrete data has been the subject of extensive statistical research dating back to the work of Pearson. In this survey we review some recently developed methods for testing hypotheses about high-dimensional…
The family of rank estimators, including Han's maximum rank correlation (Han, 1987) as a notable example, has been widely exploited in studying regression problems. For these estimators, although the linear index is introduced for…
We consider testing for two-sample means of high dimensional populations by thresholding. Two tests are investigated, which are designed for better power performance when the two population mean vectors differ only in sparsely populated…
