In the framework of axial data, the most classical test of uniformity is the Bingham [8] test. Remarkably, this test does not need any modification to meet asymptotically the target null size in high-dimensional scenarios where p = pn diverges to infinity with the sample size n. However, while the non-null asymptotic behaviour of the Bingham test is well understood in standard asymptotic scenarios where n diverges to infinity with p fixed, nothing is known on the power of this test in high dimensions, not even under standard parametric alternatives such as Watson distributions. In this work, we therefore study the non-null behaviour of the Bingham test in high dimensions. First, we consider a semiparametric class of alternatives that includes Watson alternatives and we derive a local asymptotic normality (LAN) property. An application of Le Cam’s third lemma reveals that the Bingham test is blind to the corresponding contiguous alternatives, though. By using martingale central limit theorems, we therefore study the non-null behaviour of the Bingham test under more severe alternatives. Far from restricting to the aforementioned semiparametric alternatives, our results cover a broad class of rotationally symmetric alternatives, which allows us to consider non-axial alternatives, too. In every distributional framework we consider, the “detection threshold” of the Bingham test is identified and a comparison with the classical test of uniformity for non-axial data, namely the Rayleigh [40] test, is made possible. In the framework of axial data, we derive a lower bound on the minimax separation rate and establish that the Bingham test is minimax rate-optimal in the class of Watson distributions.

Two factors influence this behavior: the distribution of the largest fragment at the time of a dislocation and the index of self-similarity. As an application we obtain the asymptotic behavior of all moments of the largest fragment and compare it to the behavior of the moments of a tagged fragment, whose decrease is in general significantly slower. We illustrate our results on several examples, including fragmentations related to random real trees - for which we thus obtain the large-time behavior of the tail distribution of the height - such as the stable L'evy trees of Duquesne, Le Gall and Le Jan (including the Brownian tree of Aldous), the alpha-model of Ford and the beta-splitting model of Aldous.","PeriodicalId":42884,"journal":{"name":"Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare D","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81453261","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}
