New tests for the identity and sphericity of high-dimensional covariance matrices via U-statistics
Two novel test procedures are proposed for the identity and sphericity of covariance matrices in high-dimensional asymptotic frameworks, both constructed via U-statistics. The limiting distributions of these tests are established under null and local alternative hypotheses. Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate their superiority over several competing methods across various scenarios, with the proposed tests achieving full power against both dense and sparse alternatives. The effectiveness of the proposed tests is further validated through an application to a colon dataset.
期刊介绍:
Computational Statistics and Data Analysis (CSDA), an Official Publication of the network Computational and Methodological Statistics (CMStatistics) and of the International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC), is an international journal dedicated to the dissemination of methodological research and applications in the areas of computational statistics and data analysis. The journal consists of four refereed sections which are divided into the following subject areas:
I) Computational Statistics - Manuscripts dealing with: 1) the explicit impact of computers on statistical methodology (e.g., Bayesian computing, bioinformatics,computer graphics, computer intensive inferential methods, data exploration, data mining, expert systems, heuristics, knowledge based systems, machine learning, neural networks, numerical and optimization methods, parallel computing, statistical databases, statistical systems), and 2) the development, evaluation and validation of statistical software and algorithms. Software and algorithms can be submitted with manuscripts and will be stored together with the online article.
II) Statistical Methodology for Data Analysis - Manuscripts dealing with novel and original data analytical strategies and methodologies applied in biostatistics (design and analytic methods for clinical trials, epidemiological studies, statistical genetics, or genetic/environmental interactions), chemometrics, classification, data exploration, density estimation, design of experiments, environmetrics, education, image analysis, marketing, model free data exploration, pattern recognition, psychometrics, statistical physics, image processing, robust procedures.

III) Special Applications - [...]
IV) Annals of Statistical Data Science [...]
