Two-sample simultaneous test using chi-squared approximation

Description

This function implements the two-sample simultaneous test on high-dimensional mean vectors and covariance matrices using chi-squared approximation. Suppose \{\mathbf{X}_1, \ldots, \mathbf{X}_{n_1}\} are i.i.d. copies of \mathbf{X}, and \{\mathbf{Y}_1, \ldots, \mathbf{Y}_{n_2}\} are i.i.d. copies of \mathbf{Y}. Let M_{CQ}/\hat\sigma_{M_{CQ}} denote the l_2-norm-based mean test statistic proposed in Chen and Qin (2010) (see meantest.cq for details), and let T_{LC}/\hat\sigma_{T_{LC}} denote the l_2-norm-based covariance test statistic proposed in Li and Chen (2012) (see covtest.lc for details). The simultaneous test statistic via chi-squared approximation is defined as

S_{n_1, n_2} = M_{CQ}^2/\hat\sigma^2_{M_{CQ}} + T_{LC}^2/\hat\sigma^2_{T_{LC}}.

It has been proved that with some regularity conditions, under the null hypothesis H_0: \boldsymbol{\mu}_1 = \boldsymbol{\mu}_2 \ \text{ and } \ \mathbf{\Sigma}_1 = \mathbf{\Sigma}_2, the two tests are asymptotically independent as n_1, n_2, p\rightarrow \infty, and therefore S_{n_1,n_2} asymptotically converges in distribution to a \chi_2^2 distribution. The asymptotic p-value is obtained by

p\text{-value} = 1-F_{\chi_2^2}(S_{n_1,n_2}),

where F_{\chi_2^2}(\cdot) is the cdf of the \chi_2^2 distribution.
