In this study, we focus on applying L-statistics to the high-dimensional one-sample location test problem. Intuitively, an L-statistic with $k$ parameters tends to perform optimally when the sparsity level of the alternative hypothesis…

This paper develops a novel methodology for testing the goodness-of-fit of sparse parametric regression models based on projected empirical processes and p-value combination, where the covariate dimension may substantially exceed the sample…

We develop goodness-of-fit tests for max-stable random fields, which are used to model heavy-tailed spatial data. The test statistics are constructed based on the Fourier transforms of the indicators of extreme values in the heavy-tailed…

We study the high-dimensional two-sample location problem under elliptical symmetry with arbitrary dependence in the scatter matrix. Existing spatial-sign procedures are attractive for heavy-tailed data, but their null calibration is tied…

We propose a novel technique to boost the power of testing a high-dimensional vector $H:\btheta=0$ against sparse alternatives where the null hypothesis is violated only by a couple of components. Existing tests based on quadratic forms…

When outcome data are expensive or onerous to collect, scientists increasingly substitute predictions from machine learning and AI models for unlabeled cases, a process which has consequences for downstream statistical inference. While…

Large-scale multiple testing under static factor models is widely used to detect sparse signals in high-dimensional data. However, static factor models are arguably too stringent because they ignore serial correlation, which seriously…

Consider $d$ dependent change point tests, each based on a CUSUM-statistic. We provide an asymptotic theory that allows us to deal with the maximum over all test statistics as both the sample size $n$ and $d$ tend to infinity. We achieve…
