An adaptive approach for testing high-dimensional location parameters with structured correlations
摘要
The problem of comparing mean vectors in high-dimensional two-sample scenarios has been extensively researched. In this paper, we assume that the precision matrix of data follows a linear structure and introduce a maximum-type test statistic for sparse alternative hypotheses. We demonstrate the asymptotic independence between our proposed maximum-type test statistic and an existing sum-type test statistic. Based on this, we propose a Cauchy combination test procedure that performs effectively in both dense and sparse alternative scenarios. Simulation studies confirm that our proposed tests outperform other adaptive tests, particularly in cases with strong correlation structures.
