Recent advances in directional statistics

A Pewsey, E García-Portugués - Test, 2021 - Springer
Mainstream statistical methodology is generally applicable to data observed in Euclidean
space. There are, however, numerous contexts of considerable scientific interest in which …

Multivariate goodness-of-fit tests based on Wasserstein distance

M Hallin, G Mordant, J Segers - 2021 - projecteuclid.org
Goodness-of-fit tests based on the empirical Wasserstein distance are proposed for simple
and composite null hypotheses involving general multivariate distributions. For group …

The hellinger correlation

G Geenens, P Lafaye de Micheaux - Journal of the American …, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
In this article, the defining properties of any valid measure of the dependence between two
continuous random variables are revisited and complemented with two original ones, shown …

Random generation of capacities and its application in comprehensive decision aiding

G Beliakov, JZ Wu - Information Sciences, 2021 - Elsevier
The capacities and the Choquet integral are powerful tools to represent decision problems
with dependencies and aggregate correlated decision criteria. Random generation of …

Minimax Optimal Goodness-of-Fit Testing with Kernel Stein Discrepancy

O Hagrass, B Sriperumbudur… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We explore the minimax optimality of goodness-of-fit tests on general domains using the
kernelized Stein discrepancy (KSD). The KSD framework offers a flexible approach for …

Goodness‐of‐fit tests for the multivariate Student‐t distribution based on iid data, and for GARCH observations

S Meintanis, B Milošević, M Obradović… - Journal of Time …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We consider goodness‐of‐fit tests for the multivariate Student's t‐distribution with iid data
and for the innovation distribution in a generalized autoregressive conditional …

Goodness-of-fit tests for complete spatial randomness based on Minkowski functionals of binary images

B Ebner, N Henze, MA Klatt, K Mecke - 2018 - projecteuclid.org
We propose a class of goodness-of-fit tests for complete spatial randomness (CSR). In
contrast to standard tests, our procedure utilizes a transformation of the data to a binary …

A unified approach to goodness-of-fit testing for spherical and hyperspherical data

B Ebner, N Henze, S Meintanis - Statistical Papers, 2024 - Springer
We propose a general and relatively simple method to construct goodness-of-fit tests on the
sphere and the hypersphere. The method is based on the characterization of probability …

[PDF][PDF] Transporting probability measures

G Mordant - 2021 - dial.uclouvain.be
In sciences, the need often arises to test certain hypotheses and to create models, ie,
accurate and reliable simplifications of the world. To do this, one often has access to a …

Validation of machine learning based scenario generators

S Flaig, G Junike - arXiv preprint arXiv:2301.12719, 2023 - arxiv.org
Machine learning methods are getting more and more important in the development of
