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 {X1,,Xn1}\{\mathbf{X}_1, \ldots, \mathbf{X}_{n_1}\} are i.i.d. copies of X\mathbf{X}, and {Y1,,Yn2}\{\mathbf{Y}_1, \ldots, \mathbf{Y}_{n_2}\} are i.i.d. copies of Y\mathbf{Y}. Let MCQ/σ^MCQM_{CQ}/\hat\sigma_{M_{CQ}} denote the l2l_2-norm-based mean test statistic proposed in Chen and Qin (2010) (see meantest.cq for details), and let TLC/σ^TLCT_{LC}/\hat\sigma_{T_{LC}} denote the l2l_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

Sn1,n2=MCQ2/σ^MCQ2+TLC2/σ^TLC2.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 H0:μ1=μ2  and  Σ1=Σ2H_0: \boldsymbol{\mu}_1 = \boldsymbol{\mu}_2 \ \text{ and } \ \mathbf{\Sigma}_1 = \mathbf{\Sigma}_2, the two tests are asymptotically independent as n1,n2,pn_1, n_2, p\rightarrow \infty, and therefore Sn1,n2S_{n_1,n_2} asymptotically converges in distribution to a χ22\chi_2^2 distribution. The asymptotic pp-value is obtained by

p-value=1Fχ22(Sn1,n2),p\text{-value} = 1-F_{\chi_2^2}(S_{n_1,n_2}),

where Fχ22()F_{\chi_2^2}(\cdot) is the cdf of the χ22\chi_2^2 distribution.
