A Kernel Test for Three-Variable Interactions with Random Processes

2016-03-02 · Paul K. Rubenstein, Kacper P. Chwialkowski, Arthur Gretton

We apply a wild bootstrap method to the Lancaster three-variable interaction measure in order to detect factorisation of the joint distribution on three variables forming a stationary random process, for which the existing permutation bootstrap method fails. As in the i.i.d. case, the Lancaster test is found to outperform existing tests in cases for which two independent variables individually have a weak influence on a third, but that when considered jointly the influence is strong. The main contributions of this paper are twofold: first, we prove that the Lancaster statistic satisfies the conditions required to estimate the quantiles of the null distribution using the wild bootstrap; second, the manner in which this is proved is novel, simpler than existing methods, and can further be applied to other statistics.

A Kernel Test for Three-Variable Interactions

2013-06-10 · NeurIPS 2013 12 · Dino Sejdinovic, Arthur Gretton, Wicher Bergsma

We introduce kernel nonparametric tests for Lancaster three-variable interaction and for total independence, using embeddings of signed measures into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The resulting test statistics are …

Statistical analysis of coupled time series with Kernel Cross-Spectral Density operators.

Many applications require the analysis of complex interactions between time series. These interactions can be non-linear and involve vector valued as well as complex data structures such as graphs or strings. Here we pro…

Kernel-based Tests for Joint Independence

2016-03-01 · Niklas Pfister, Peter Bühlmann, Bernhard Schölkopf, Jonas Peters

We investigate the problem of testing whether $d$ random variables, which may or may not be continuous, are jointly (or mutually) independent. Our method builds on ideas of the two variable Hilbert-Schmidt independence c…

Learning Deep Kernels for Non-Parametric Independence Testing

2024-09-10 · Nathaniel Xu, Feng Liu, Danica J. Sutherland

The Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC) is a powerful tool for nonparametric detection of dependence between random variables. It crucially depends, however, on the selection of reasonable kernels; commonly-use…

Variable Selection for Kernel Two-Sample Tests

2023-02-15 · Jie Wang, Santanu S. Dey, Yao Xie

We consider the variable selection problem for two-sample tests, aiming to select the most informative variables to determine whether two collections of samples follow the same distribution. To address this, we propose a…
