We consider goodness-of-fit tests with i.i.d. samples generated from a categorical distribution $(p_1,...,p_k)$. For a given $(q_1,...,q_k)$, we test the null hypothesis whether $p_j=q_{\pi(j)}$ for some label permutation $\pi$. The…

Katz and Sarnak conjectured a correspondence between the $n$-level density statistics of zeros from families of $L$-functions with eigenvalues from random matrix ensembles. In many cases the sums of smooth test functions, whose Fourier…

We propose a new class of goodness-of-fit tests for the inverse Gaussian distribution. The proposed tests are weighted $L^2$-type tests depending on a tuning parameter. We develop the asymptotic theory under the null hypothesis and under a…

Given two candidate models, and a set of target observations, we address the problem of measuring the relative goodness of fit of the two models. We propose two new statistical tests which are nonparametric, computationally efficient…

Methods of performing anomaly detection on high-dimensional data sets are needed, since algorithms which are trained on data are only expected to perform well on data that is similar to the training data. There are theoretical results on…

We consider the identity testing problem - or goodness-of-fit testing problem - in multivariate binomial families, multivariate Poisson families and multinomial distributions. Given a known distribution $p$ and $n$ iid samples drawn from an…

A density ratio is defined by the ratio of two probability densities. We study the inference problem of density ratios and apply a semi-parametric density-ratio estimator to the two-sample homogeneity test. In the proposed test procedure,…

We investigate the estimation of a weighted density taking the form $g=w(F)f$, where $f$ denotes an unknown density, $F$ the associated distribution function and $w$ is a known (non-negative) weight. Such a class encompasses many examples,…

Goodness-of-fit tests based on the empirical Wasserstein distance are proposed for simple and composite null hypotheses involving general multivariate distributions. For group families, the procedure is to be implemented after preliminary…

We consider spherical data $X_i$ noised by a random rotation $\varepsilon_i\in$ SO(3) so that only the sample $Z_i=\varepsilon_iX_i$, $i=1,\dots, N$ is observed. We define a nonparametric test procedure to distinguish $H_0:$ ''the density…

We propose a goodness-of-fit test for the distribution of errors from a multivariate indirect regression model. The test statistic is based on the Khmaladze transformation of the empirical process of standardized residuals. This…

Suppose we have an observed path from a point process counting event occurrences in a large population. Based on the observed path, we would like to test the null hypothesis that the conditional intensity of the point process belongs to a…

Motivated by applications to goodness of fit testing, the empirical likelihood approach is generalized to allow for the number of constraints to grow with the sample size and for the constraints to use estimated criteria functions. The…

We consider the goodness of fit testing problem for ergodic diffusion processes. The basic hypothesis is supposed to be simple. The diffusion coefficient is known and the alternatives are described by the different trend coefficients. We…

We construct confidence sets for the regression function in nonparametric binary regression with an unknown design density. These confidence sets are adaptive in $L^2$ loss over a continuous class of Sobolev type spaces. Adaptation holds in…

Accurate goodness-of-fit tests for the extreme tails of empirical distributions is a very important issue, relevant in many contexts, including geophysics, insurance, and finance. We have derived exact asymptotic results for a…

This work is concerned with nonparametric goodness-of-fit testing in the context of nonlinear inverse problems with random observations. Bayesian posterior distributions based upon a Gaussian process prior distribution are proven to…

We propose here a new goodness-of-fit test, named the one-sample OVL-q test (q = 1, 2, . . .), which can be considered an extension of the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (equivalent to the one-sample OVL-1 test). We have analyzed the…
