Distribution-Free Multisample Tests Based on Optimal Matchings With Applications to Single Cell Genomics
基于最优匹配的分布无关多样本检验及单细胞基因组学应用
In this article, we propose a nonparametric graphical test based on optimal matching, for assessing the equality of multiple unknown multivariate probability distributions. Our procedure pools the data from the different classes to create a graph based on the minimum non-bipartite matching, and then utilizes the number of edges connecting data points from different classes to examine the closeness between the distributions. The proposed test is exactly distribution-free (the…
