B-tests: Low Variance Kernel Two-Sample Tests
A family of maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) kernel two-sample tests is introduced. Members of the test family are called Block-tests or B-tests, since the test statistic is an average over MMDs computed on subsets of the samples. The choice of block size allows control over the tradeoff between test power and computation time. In this respect, the B-test family combines favorable properties of p...
متن کاملFunctional Analysis of Variance for Association Studies
While progress has been made in identifying common genetic variants associated with human diseases, for most of common complex diseases, the identified genetic variants only account for a small proportion of heritability. Challenges remain in finding additional unknown genetic variants predisposing to complex diseases. With the advance in next-generation sequencing technologies, sequencing stud...
متن کاملTests of Fit for Normal Variance Inverse Gaussian Distributions
Goodness–of–fit tests for the family of symmetric normal variance inverse Gaussian distributions are constructed. The tests are based on a weighted integral incorporating the empirical characteristic function of suitably standardized data. An EM– type algorithm is employed for the estimation of the parameters involved in the test statistic. Monte Carlo results show that the new procedure is com...
متن کاملDynamic Mean Variance Asset Allocation: Tests for Robustness∗
We consider a portfolio consisting of a risk-free bond and an equity index which follows a jump diffusion process. Parameters for the inflation-adjusted return of the stock index and the risk free bond are determined by examining 89 years of data. The optimal dynamic asset allocation strategy for a long-term pre-commitment mean variance (MV) investor is determined by numerically solving a Hamil...
متن کاملThe use of score tests for inference on variance components.
Whenever inference for variance components is required, the choice between one-sided and two-sided tests is crucial. This choice is usually driven by whether or not negative variance components are permitted. For two-sided tests, classical inferential procedures can be followed, based on likelihood ratios, score statistics, or Wald statistics. For one-sided tests, however, one-sided test statis...
