We are interested in testing general linear hypotheses in a high-dimensional multivariate linear regression model. The framework includes many well-studied problems such as two-sample tests for equality of population means, MANOVA and others as special cases. A family of rotation-invariant tests is proposed that involves a flexible spectral shrinkage scheme applied to the sample error covariance matrix. The asymptotic normality of the test statistic under the null hypothesis is derived in the setting where dimensionality is comparable to sample sizes, assuming the existence of certain moments for the observations. The asymptotic power of the proposed test is studied under various local alternatives. The power characteristics are then utilized to propose a data-driven selection of the spectral shrinkage function. As an illustration of the general theory, we construct a family of tests involving ridge-type regularization and suggest possible extensions to more complex regularizers. A simulation study is carried out to examine the numerical performance of the proposed tests.

We consider testing regression coefficients in high dimensional generalized linear models. An investigation of the test of Goeman et al. (2011) is conducted, which reveals that if the inverse of the link function is unbounded, the high dimensionality in the covariates can impose adverse impacts on the power of the test. We propose a test formation which can avoid the adverse impact of the high dimensionality. When the inverse of the link function is bounded such as the logistic or probit regression, the proposed test is as good as Goeman et al. (2011)s test. The proposed tests provide p-values for testing significance for gene-sets as demonstrated in a case study on an acute lymphoblastic leukemia dataset.

For a multivariate linear model, Wilks likelihood ratio test (LRT) constitutes one of the cornerstone tools. However, the computation of its quantiles under the null or the alternative requires complex analytic approximations and more importantly, th ese distributional approximations are feasible only for moderate dimension of the dependent variable, say $ple 20$. On the other hand, assuming that the data dimension $p$ as well as the number $q$ of regression variables are fixed while the sample size $n$ grows, several asymptotic approximations are proposed in the literature for Wilks $bLa$ including the widely used chi-square approximation. In this paper, we consider necessary modifications to Wilks test in a high-dimensional context, specifically assuming a high data dimension $p$ and a large sample size $n$. Based on recent random matrix theory, the correction we propose to Wilks test is asymptotically Gaussian under the null and simulations demonstrate that the corrected LRT has very satisfactory size and power, surely in the large $p$ and large $n$ context, but also for moderately large data dimensions like $p=30$ or $p=50$. As a byproduct, we give a reason explaining why the standard chi-square approximation fails for high-dimensional data. We also introduce a new procedure for the classical multiple sample significance test in MANOVA which is valid for high-dimensional data.

For a high-dimensional linear model with a finite number of covariates measured with error, we study statistical inference on the parameters associated with the error-prone covariates, and propose a new corrected decorrelated score test and the corre sponding one-step estimator. We further establish asymptotic properties of the newly proposed test statistic and the one-step estimator. Under local alternatives, we show that the limiting distribution of our corrected decorrelated score test statistic is non-central normal. The finite-sample performance of the proposed inference procedure is examined through simulation studies. We further illustrate the proposed procedure via an empirical analysis of a real data example.
We propose a new estimator for the high-dimensional linear regression model with observation error in the design where the number of coefficients is potentially larger than the sample size. The main novelty of our procedure is that the choice of pena lty parameters is pivotal. The estimator is based on applying a self-normalization to the constraints that characterize the estimator. Importantly, we show how to cast the computation of the estimator as the solution of a convex program with second order cone constraints. This allows the use of algorithms with theoretical guarantees and reliable implementation. Under sparsity assumptions, we derive $ell_q$-rates of convergence and show that consistency can be achieved even if the number of regressors exceeds the sample size. We further provide a simple to implement rule to threshold the estimator that yields a provably sparse estimator with similar $ell_2$ and $ell_1$-rates of convergence. The thresholds are data-driven and component dependents. Finally, we also study the rates of convergence of estimators that refit the data based on a selected support with possible model selection mistakes. In addition to our finite sample theoretical results that allow for non-i.i.d. data, we also present simulations to compare the performance of the proposed estimators.

Let $(Y,(X_i)_{iinmathcal{I}})$ be a zero mean Gaussian vector and $V$ be a subset of $mathcal{I}$. Suppose we are given $n$ i.i.d. replications of the vector $(Y,X)$. We propose a new test for testing that $Y$ is independent of $(X_i)_{iin mathcal{I }backslash V}$ conditionally to $(X_i)_{iin V}$ against the general alternative that it is not. This procedure does not depend on any prior information on the covariance of $X$ or the variance of $Y$ and applies in a high-dimensional setting. It straightforwardly extends to test the neighbourhood of a Gaussian graphical model. The procedure is based on a model of Gaussian regression with random Gaussian covariates. We give non asymptotic properties of the test and we prove that it is rate optimal (up to a possible $log(n)$ factor) over various classes of alternatives under some additional assumptions. Besides, it allows us to derive non asymptotic minimax rates of testing in this setting. Finally, we carry out a simulation study in order to evaluate the performance of our procedure.
