A fraction-free unit-circle zero location test for a polynomial with any singularity profile

This paper presents a fraction-free (FF) version of the Bistritz test to determine the zero location (ZL) of a polynomial with respect to the unit circle. The test has the property that when it is invoked on a polynomial with Gaussian or real integer coefficients, it is an efficient integer algorithm completed without fractions over the respective integral domain. The test is not restricted to integers but remains integer preserving (IP) in all possible encounters of abnormalities and singularities. We define a symmetric subresultant polynomial sequence (SSPS) for the Sylvester matrix of two symmetric polynomials. We then show that the sequence of polynomials produced by the FF test coincides with the SSPS of its first two polynomials when the test is normal and the SSPS is strongly nonsingular, or else its polynomials match the non-singular subresultant polynomial and pass over intermediate gaps of singular subresultants in an IP and efficient manner. This relationship (interesting in its own right) is used to show that the test is IP and normally attains integers of minimal size.

A Goodness-of-Fit Test for the Functional Linear Model with Scalar Response

This article proposes a goodness-of-fit test for the null hypothesis of a functional linear model with scalar response. The test is based on a generalization to the functional framework of a previous one, designed for the goodness-of-fit of regression models with multivariate covariates using random projections. The test statistic is easy to compute using geometrical and matrix arguments, and simple to calibrate in its distribution by a wild bootstrap on the residuals. The finite sample properties of the test are illustrated by a simulation study for several types of basis and under different alternatives. Finally, the test is applied to two datasets for checking the assumption of the functional linear model and a graphical tool is introduced. Supplementary materials are available online.     

A semiparametric Wald statistic for testing logistic regression models based on case-control data

We propose a semiparametric Wald statistic to test the validity of logistic regression models based on case-control data. The test statistic is constructed using a semiparametric ROC curve estimator and a nonparametric ROC curve estimator. The statistic has an asymptotic chisquared distribution and is an alternative to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov-type statistic proposed by Qin and Zhang in 1997, the chi-squared-type statistic proposed by Zhang in 1999 and the information matrix test statistic proposed by Zhang in 2001. The statistic is easy to compute in the sense that it requires none of the following methods: using a bootstrap method to find its critical values, partitioning the sample data or inverting a high-dimensional matrix. We present some results on simulation and on analysis of two real examples. Moreover, we discuss how to extend our statistic to a family of statistics and how to construct its Kolmogorov-Smirnov counterpart.

Hypothesis tests for high-dimensional covariance structures

We consider hypothesis testing for high-dimensional covariance structures in which the covariance matrix is a (i) scaled identity matrix, (ii) diagonal matrix, or (iii) intraclass covariance matrix. Our purpose is to systematically establish a nonparametric approach for testing the high-dimensional covariance structures (i)–(iii). We produce a new common test statistic for each covariance structure and show that the test statistic is an unbiased estimator of its corresponding test parameter. We prove that the test statistic establishes the asymptotic normality. We propose a new test procedure for (i)–(iii) and evaluate its asymptotic size and power theoretically when both the dimension and sample size increase. We investigate the performance of the proposed test procedure in simulations. As an application of testing the covariance structures, we give a test procedure to identify an eigenvector. Finally, we demonstrate the proposed test procedure by using a microarray data set.

     

Robust U-type test for high dimensional regression coefficients using refitted cross-validation variance estimation

This paper aims to develop a new robust U-type test for high dimensional regression coefficients using the estimated U-statistic of order two and refitted cross-validation error variance estimation. It is proved that the limiting null distribution of the proposed new test is normal under two kinds of ordinary models.We further study the local power of the proposed test and compare with other competitive tests for high dimensional data. The idea of refitted cross-validation approach is utilized to reduce the bias of sample variance in the estimation of the test statistic. Our theoretical results indicate that the proposed test can have even more substantial power gain than the test by Zhong and Chen(2011) when testing a hypothesis with outlying observations and heavy tailed distributions. We assess the finite-sample performance of the proposed test by examining its size and power via Monte Carlo studies. We also illustrate the application of the proposed test by an empirical analysis of a real data example.
