Existing methods may suffer from low power if the underlying signal pattern is in a situation that does not favor the deployed test. In this work, we develop 2-sample power-enhanced mean tests for high-dimensional compositional data based on the combination of $P$-values, which integrates strengths from 2 popular types of tests: the maximum-type test and the quadratic-type test. We provide rigorous theoretical guarantees on the proposed tests, showing accurate Type-I error rate control and enhanced testing power. Our method boosts the testing power toward a broader alternative space, which yields robust performance across a wide range of signal pattern settings. Our methodology and theory also contribute to the literature on power enhancement and Gaussian approximation for high-dimensional hypothesis testing. We demonstrate the performance of our method on both simulated data and real-world microbiome data, showing that our proposed approach improves the testing power substantially compared to existing methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":8930,"journal":{"name":"Biometrics","volume":"81 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional approaches typically either rely on large volumes of historical (option) data (data-driven methods) or generate synthetic prices across wide parameter grids (model-driven methods). In both cases, the scale of data demands can be prohibitively high. We propose an alternative strategy that trains a neural network on the <em>residuals</em> between a fast but approximate pricing formula and numerically generated option prices, rather than learning the full pricing function directly. Focusing on these smaller, smoother residuals notably reduces the complexity of the learning task and lowers data requirements. We further demonstrate theoretically that the Rademacher complexity of the residual function class is significantly smaller, thereby improving generalization with fewer samples. Numerical experiments on fast mean-reverting SV models show that our residual-learning framework achieves accuracy comparable to baseline networks but uses only about one-tenth the training data. These findings highlight the potential of residual-based neural approaches to deliver efficient, accurate pricing and facilitate practical calibration of advanced SV models.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55218,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Mathematics with Applications","volume":"187 ","pages":"Pages 150-165"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143748609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
