Adaptable Regularized Hotelling's T^2 Test for High-Dimensional Data

Perform the Adaptable Regularized Hotelling's T^2 test (ARHT) proposed by Li et al., (2016) . Both one-sample and two-sample mean test are available with various probabilistic alternative prior models. It contains a function to consistently estimate higher order moments of the population covariance spectral distribution using the spectral of the sample covariance matrix (Bai et al. (2010) ). In addition, it contains a function to sample from 3-variate chi-squared random vectors approximately with a given correlation matrix when the degrees of freedom are large.

Installation

You can install ARHT from github with:

devtools::install_github("HaoranLi/ARHT")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(ARHT)
## basic example code
set.seed(10086)
# One-sample test
n1 = 300; p =500
dataX = matrix(rnorm(n1 * p), nrow = n1, ncol = p)
res1 = ARHT(dataX)
 
# Two-sample test
n2= 400
dataY = matrix(rnorm(n2 * p), nrow = n2, ncol = p )
res2 = ARHT(dataX, dataY, mu_0 = rep(0.01,p))
 
# Specify probabilistic alternative priors model
res3 = ARHT(dataX, dataY, mu_0 = rep(0.01,p), 
            prob_alt_prior = list(c(1/3, 1/3, 1/3), c(0,1,0)))
# Change Type 1 error calibration method
res4 = ARHT(dataX, dataY, mu_0 = rep(0.01,p),
            Type1error_calib = "sqrt")
RejectOrNot = res4$ARHT_pvalue < 0.05
