In unit root testing, a piecewise locally stationary process is adopted to accommodate nonstationary errors that can have both smooth and abrupt changes in second- or higher-order properties. Under this framework, the limiting null…
This paper deals with unit root issues in time series analysis. It has been known for a long time that unit root tests may be flawed when a series although stationary has a root close to unity. That motivated recent papers dedicated to…
We introduce a rigorous and sensitive significance test for hyperuniformity that yields reliable results even from a single sample. Our approach is based on a detailed analysis of the empirical Fourier transform of a stationary point…
We propose a new class of unit root tests that exploits invariance properties in the Locally Asymptotically Brownian Functional limit experiment associated to the unit root model. The invariance structures naturally suggest tests that are…
We formulate nonparametric and semiparametric hypothesis testing of multivariate stationary linear time series in a unified fashion and propose new test statistics based on estimators of the spectral density matrix. The limiting…
We propose a novel statistical test to assess the mutual independence of multidimensional random vectors. Our approach is based on the $L_1$-distance between the joint density function and the product of the marginal densities associated…
Researchers often rely on the t-statistic to make inference on parameters in statistical models. It is common practice to obtain critical values by simulation techniques. This paper proposes a novel numerical method to obtain an…
In this paper, we propose a new test for the equality of several covariance functions for functional data. Its test statistic is taken as the supremum value of the sum of the squared differences between the estimated individual covariance…
In this paper, we propose a new test for testing the equality of two population covariance matrices in the ultra-high dimensional setting that the dimension is much larger than the sizes of both of the two samples. Our proposed methodology…
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,…
Many high-dimensional hypothesis tests aim to globally examine marginal or low-dimensional features of a high-dimensional joint distribution, such as testing of mean vectors, covariance matrices and regression coefficients. This paper…
We propose a novel finite-sample procedure for testing composite null hypotheses. Traditional likelihood ratio tests based on asymptotic $\chi^2$ approximations often exhibit substantial bias in small samples. Our procedure rejects the…
This paper considers testing linear hypotheses of a set of mean vectors with unequal covariance matrices in large dimensional setting. The problem of testing the hypothesis $H_0 : \sum_{i=1}^q \beta_i \bmu_i =\bmu_0 $ for a given vector…
We consider the problem of testing whether pairs of univariate random variables are associated. Few tests of independence exist that are consistent against all dependent alternatives and are distribution free. We propose novel tests that…
In shape-constrained nonparametric inference, it is often necessary to perform preliminary tests to verify whether a probability mass function (p.m.f.) satisfies qualitative constraints such as monotonicity, convexity, or in general…
Analysis of covariance is a crucial method for improving precision of statistical tests for factor effects in randomized experiments. However, existing solutions suffer from one or more of the following limitations: (i) they are not…
Most of researchers on testing a significance of coefficient $\ubeta$ in high-dimensional linear regression models consider the classical hypothesis testing problem $H_0^{c}: \ubeta=\uzero \mbox{ versus } H_1^{c}: \ubeta \neq \uzero$. We…
This article introduces new methods for the analysis of cyclostationary time series with infinite variance. Traditional cyclostationary analysis, based on periodically correlated (PC) processes, relies on the autocovariance function (ACVF).…
This paper considers testing a covariance matrix $\Sigma$ in the high dimensional setting where the dimension $p$ can be comparable or much larger than the sample size $n$. The problem of testing the hypothesis $H_0:\Sigma=\Sigma_0$ for a…
McWilliams (1990) introduced a nonparametric procedure based on runs for the problem of testing univariate symmetry about the origin (equivalently, about an arbitrary specified center). His procedure first reorders the observations…
