We propose a new powerful family of tests of univariate normality. These tests are based on an initial value problem in the space of characteristic functions originating from the fixed point property of the normal distribution in the zero…
Most existing methods for testing equality of means of functional data from multiple populations rely on assumptions of equal covariance and/or Gaussianity. In this work we provide a new testing method based on a statistic that is…
Thanks to its favorable properties, the multivariate normal distribution is still largely employed for modeling phenomena in various scientific fields. However, when the number of components $p$ is of the same asymptotic order as the sample…
This study presents a new procedure for necessary tests of multivariate normality based on the uniform distribution on the Stiefel manifold. We demonstrate that the test statistic, which is formed by the product of the scaled residual…
In this paper, we proposed a multivariate normality test based on copula entropy. The test statistic is defined as the difference between the copula entropies of unknown distribution and the Gaussian distribution with same covariances. The…
A family of consistent tests, derived from a characterization of the probability generating function, is proposed for assessing Poissonity against a wide class of count distributions, which includes some of the most frequently adopted…
In this article we prove a generalization of the Ejsmont characterization of the multivariate normal distribution. Based on it, we propose a new test for independence and normality. The test uses an integral of the squared modulus of the…
Motivated by the importance of measuring the association between the response and predictors in high dimensional data, In this article, we propose a new mean variance test of independence between a categorical random variable and a…
Permutation tests enable testing statistical hypotheses in situations when the distribution of the test statistic is complicated or not available. In some situations, the test statistic under investigation is multivariate, with the multiple…
As increasingly complex hypothesis-testing scenarios are considered in many scientific fields, analytic derivation of null distributions is often out of reach. To the rescue comes Monte Carlo testing, which may appear deceptively simple: as…
We use a system of first-order partial differential equations that characterize the moment generating function of the $d$-variate standard normal distribution to construct a class of affine invariant tests for normality in any dimension. We…
The randomized $p$-value, (nonrandomized) mid-$p$-value and abstract randomized $p$-value have all been recommended for testing a null hypothesis whenever the test statistic has a discrete distribution. This paper provides a unifying…
In this paper, we focus on testing multivariate normality using the BHEP test with data that are missing completely at random. Our objective is twofold: first, to gain insight into the asymptotic behavior of BHEP test statistics under two…
In this article, we present a nonparametric method for the general two-sample problem involving functional random variables modelled as elements of a separable Hilbert space ${\cal H}$. First, we present a general recipe based on linear…
We generalize a recent class of tests for univariate normality that are based on the empirical moment generating function to the multivariate setting, thus obtaining a class of affine invariant, consistent and easy-to-use goodness-of-fit…
Hypothesis tests calibrated by (re)sampling methods (such as permutation, rank and bootstrap tests) are useful tools for statistical analysis, at the computational cost of requiring Monte-Carlo sampling for calibration. It is common and…
Given samples from two non-negative random variables, we propose a family of tests for the null hypothesis that one random variable stochastically dominates the other at the second order. Test statistics are obtained as functionals of the…
Suppose we have a distribution of interest, with density $p(x),x\in {\cal X}$ say, and an algorithm claimed to generate samples from $p(x)$. Moreover, assume we have available a Metropolis--Hastings transition kernel fulfilling detail…
The normal distribution has the unique property that the cumulant generating function has only two terms, namely those involving the mean and the variance. This property is used to construct a simple by using the log of the modulus of the…
While there exists several inferential methods for analyzing functional data in factorial designs, there is a lack of statistical tests that are valid (i) in general designs, (ii) under non-restrictive assumptions on the data generating…
