A New Graph-Based Two-Sample Test for Multivariate and Object Data
用于多变量与对象数据的新型图两样本检验
Two-sample tests for multivariate data and especially for non-Euclidean data are not well explored. This article presents a novel test statistic based on a similarity graph constructed on the pooled observations from the two samples. It can be applied to multivariate data and non-Euclidean data as long as a dissimilarity measure on the sample space can be defined, which can usually be provided by domain experts. Existing tests based on a similarity graph lack power either…
