Selective and marginal selective inference for exceptional groups

Preprint · September 16, 2025 Link to item Cite

Testing Separability of High-Dimensional Covariance Matrices

Preprint · June 20, 2025 Due to their parsimony, separable covariance models have been popular in modeling matrix-variate data. However, the inference from such a model may be misleading if the population covariance matrix $Σ$ is actually non-separable, motivating the use of stati ... Link to item Cite
