Title: Two-Sample Tests for High-Dimensional Binary Data
Author(s): Amanda Peterson*+ and Junyong Park
Companies: UMBC and UMBC
Keywords: high dimensional data
Abstract:

In this talk, we will discuss methods for performing a two-sample test on high-dimensional multivariate binary data. As it is well known, the curse of dimensionality makes these types of problems challenging. We applied a random projection method to the multivariate binary data using the method in conjunction with the classic Hotelling's T^2 statistic and also an Edgeworth expansion. Additionally, we will discuss alternative testing procedures that we considered for the case of sparse data and also popular high-dimensional testing methods proposed by others. We will show a comparison of their outcomes in different scenarios via simulation experiments.
