Measuring evidence against exchangeability and group invariance with E-values
用 e 值衡量反对交换性与群不变性的证据
We study e-values for quantifying evidence against exchangeability and general invariance of a random variable under a compact group. We start by characterizing such e-values, and explaining how they nest traditional group invariance tests as a special case. We show they can be easily designed for an arbitrary test statistic, and computed through Monte Carlo sampling. We prove a result that characterizes optimal e-values for group invariance against optimality targets that…
