In HDNRA: High-Dimensional Location Testing with Normal-Reference Approaches

Normal-reference-test with two-cumulant (2-c) matched $\chi^2$-approximation for two-sample BF problem proposed by Zhang et al. (2023)

Description

Zhang et al. (2023)'s test for testing equality of two-sample high-dimensional mean vectors without assuming that two covariance matrices are the same.

Usage

ZZZ2023.TSBF.2cNRT(y1, y2, cutoff)

Arguments

y1	The data matrix (n_1 \times p) from the first population. Each row represents a p-dimensional observation.
y2	The data matrix (n_2 \times p) from the second population. Each row represents a p-dimensional observation.
cutoff	An empirical criterion for applying the adjustment coefficient

Details

Suppose we have two independent high-dimensional samples:

\boldsymbol{y}_{i1},\ldots,\boldsymbol{y}_{in_i}, \;\operatorname{are \; i.i.d. \; with}\; \operatorname{E}(\boldsymbol{y}_{i1})=\boldsymbol{\mu}_i,\; \operatorname{Cov}(\boldsymbol{y}_{i1})=\boldsymbol{\Sigma}_i,i=1,2.

The primary object is to test

H_{0}: \boldsymbol{\mu}_1 = \boldsymbol{\mu}_2\; \operatorname{versus}\; H_{1}: \boldsymbol{\mu}_1 \neq \boldsymbol{\mu}_2.

Zhang et al.(2023) proposed the following test statistic:

T_{ZZZ}=\frac{n_1 n_2}{np}(\bar{\boldsymbol{y}}_1-\bar{\boldsymbol{y}}_2)^{\top} \hat{\boldsymbol{D}}_n^{-1}(\bar{\boldsymbol{y}}_1-\bar{\boldsymbol{y}}_2),

where \bar{\boldsymbol{y}}_{i},i=1,2 are the sample mean vectors, and \hat{\boldsymbol{D}}_n=\operatorname{diag}(\hat{\boldsymbol{\Sigma}}_1/n+\hat{\boldsymbol{\Sigma}}_2/n) with n=n_1+n_2. They showed that under the null hypothesis, T_{ZZZ} and a chi-squared-type mixture have the same limiting distribution.

Value

A list of class "NRtest" containing the results of the hypothesis test. See the help file for NRtest.object for details.
