The innermost quantile is the Fréchet median, that is, the L 1 -analog of the Fréchet mean. The proposed quantiles μ mα,u are directional in nature: they are indexed by a scalar order α ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] and a unit vector u in the tangent space T m S d − 1 to S d − 1 at m . To ensure computability in any dimension d , our quantiles are essentially obtained by considering the Euclidean (Chaudhuri ( J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 91 (1996) 862–872)) spatial quantiles in a suitable stereographic projection of S d − 1 onto T m S d − 1 . Despite this link with Euclidean spatial quantiles, studying the proposed spherical quantiles requires understanding the nature of the (Chaudhuri (1996)) quantiles in a version of the projective space where all points at infinity are identified. We thoroughly investigate the structural properties of our quan-tiles and we further study the asymptotic behavior of their sample versions, which requires controlling the impact of estimating m . Our spherical quantile concept also allows for companion concepts of ranks and depth on the hy-persphere. We illustrate the relevance of our construction by considering two inferential applications, related to supervised classification and to testing for rotational symmetry.","PeriodicalId":22375,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Statistics","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139331092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It first shows that the optimal detection boundary for testing sparse means is the minimax detection lower boundary for testing the covariance matrix. A multilevel thresholding test is proposed and is shown to be able to attain the detection lower boundary over a substantial range of the sparsity parameter, implying that the multilevel thresholding test is sharp optimal in the minimax sense over the range. The asymptotic distribution of the multilevel thresh-olding statistic for covariance matrices is derived under both Gaussian and non-Gaussian distributions by developing a novel U -statistic decomposition in conjunction with the matrix blocking and the coupling techniques to handle the complex dependence among the elements of the sample covariance matrix. The superiority in the detection boundary of the multilevel thresholding test over the existing tests is also demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":22375,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Statistics","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139328977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop a fully operational inferential theory for extreme conditional quantiles and expec-tiles in the challenging framework of α − mixing, conditional heavy-tailed data whose tail index may vary with covariate values. This requires a dedicated treatment to deal with data sparsity in the far tail of the response, in addition to handling difficulties inherent to mixing, smoothing, and sparsity associated to covariate localization. We prove the pointwise asymptotic normality of our estimators and obtain optimal rates of convergence reminiscent of those found in the i.i.d. regression setting, but which had not been established in the conditional extreme value literature. Our assumptions hold in a wide range of models. We propose full bias and variance reduction procedures, and simple but effective data-based rules for selecting tuning hyperpa-rameters. Our inference strategy is shown to perform well in finite samples and is showcased in applications to stock returns and tornado loss data.","PeriodicalId":22375,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Statistics","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139330311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
