Multivariate Two-Sample Tests Based on Nearest Neighbors
基于最近邻的多元两样本检验
A new class of simple tests is proposed for the general multivariate two-sample problem based on the (possibly weighted) proportion of all k nearest neighbor comparisons in which observations and their neighbors belong to the same sample. Large values of the test statistics give evidence against the hypothesis H of equality of the two underlying distributions. Asymptotic null distributions are explicitly determined and shown to involve certain nearest neighbor interaction…
