More efficient exact group invariance testing: using a representative subgroup
利用代表性子群提高精确群不变性检验效率
Summary We consider testing invariance of a distribution under an algebraic group of transformations, such as permutations or sign flips. As such groups are typically huge, tests based on the full group are often computationally infeasible. Hence, it is standard practice to use a random subset of transformations. We improve upon this by replacing the random subset with a strategically chosen, fixed subgroup of transformations. In a generalized location model, we show that…
