Statistical Limits for Testing Correlation of Hypergraphs [PDF]
In this paper, we consider the hypothesis testing of correlation between two $m$-uniform hypergraphs on $n$ unlabelled nodes. Under the null hypothesis, the hypergraphs are independent, while under the alternative hypothesis, the hyperdges have the same marginal distributions as in the null hypothesis but are correlated after some unknown node ...

Chi-squared test for hypothesis testing of homogeneity [PDF]
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions of uniform consistency of nonparametric sets of alternatives of chi-squared test for testing of hypothesis of homogeneity. The number of cells of chi-squared test increases with sample size growth. Nonparametric sets of alternatives can be defined both in terms of densities and distribution functions.

Fault Diagnosis using Clustering. What Statistical Test to use for Hypothesis Testing? [PDF]
Predictive maintenance and condition-based monitoring systems have seen significant prominence in recent years to minimize the impact of machine downtime on production and its costs. Predictive maintenance involves using concepts of data mining, statistics, and machine learning to build models that are capable of performing early fault detection ...

Adaptive testing method for ergodic diffusion processes based on high frequency data [PDF]
We consider parametric tests for multidimensional ergodic diffusions based on high frequency data. We propose two-step testing method for diffusion parameters and drift parameters. To construct test statistics of the tests, we utilize the adaptive estimator and provide three types of test statistics: likelihood ratio type test, Wald type test and Rao's

Optimal Hypothesis Testing Based on Information Theory [PDF]
There has a major problem in the current theory of hypothesis testing in which no unified indicator to evaluate the goodness of various test methods since the cost function or utility function usually relies on the specific application scenario, resulting in no optimal hypothesis testing method.

Robust hypothesis testing and distribution estimation in Hellinger distance [PDF]
We propose a simple robust hypothesis test that has the same sample complexity as that of the optimal Neyman-Pearson test up to constants, but robust to distribution perturbations under Hellinger distance. We discuss the applicability of such a robust test for estimating distributions in Hellinger distance.

Private Sequential Hypothesis Testing for Statisticians: Privacy, Error Rates, and Sample Size [PDF]
The sequential hypothesis testing problem is a class of statistical analyses where the sample size is not fixed in advance. Instead, the decision-process takes in new observations sequentially to make real-time decisions for testing an alternative hypothesis against a null hypothesis until some stopping criterion is satisfied.

A Test for the Zero Mean Hypothesis in Cosmology [PDF]
One working hypothesis on which analyses of cosmological data are based is the zero ensemble mean hypothesis, which is related to the statistical homogeneity of cosmological perturbations. This hypothesis, however, should be tested by observational data in the current era of precision cosmology.
