报告简介：Testing high-dimensional data independence is an essential task of multivariate data in many fields. Typically, the quadratic and extreme value type statistics based on the Pearson correlation coefficient are designed to test dense and sparse alternatives for evaluating high-dimensional independence. However, the two existing popular test methods are sensitive to outliers and are invalidated for heavy-tail error distributions. To overcome this problem, we propose a Spearman's footrule rank-based quadratic scheme and an extreme value type statistical test for dense and sparse alternatives, respectively. Under mild conditions, the large sample properties of the resulting test methods are established. Additionally, determining or distinguishing whether the data set has sparse or dense alternatives in practice is challenging. Therefore, we show that the proposed two test statistics are asymptotically independent. By combining the proposed quadratic with extreme value statistics, we develop the max-sum test statistic and establish the asymptotic distribution of the resulting statistical test. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed max-sum test affords empirical power and robustness, regardless of whether the data is sparse dependence or not. Finally, we use the Leaf and Parkinson's disease datasets to illustrate the use of the proposed test methods.
