摘   要:

Two-sample multiple testing has a widerange of applications. Most of the literature considers simultaneous tests ofequality of parameters. This talk takes a different perspective andinvestigates the null hypotheses that the two support sets are equal. Thisformulation of the testing problem is motivated by the fact that in manyapplications where the two parameter vectors being compared are both sparse,one might be more concerned about the detection of differential sparsitystructures rather than the difference in parameter magnitudes. Focusing on thistype of problems, we develop a general approach, which adapts the newlyproposed symmetry data aggregation tool combined with a novel doublethresholding (DT) filter. The DT filter first constructs a sequence

of pairs of ranking statistics that fulfillglobal symmetry properties, and then chooses two data-driven thresholds alongthe ranking to simultaneously control the false discovery rate (FDR) andmaximize the number of rejections. Several applications of the methodology aregiven including high-dimensional linear models and Gaussian graphical models.We show that the proposed method is able to asymptotically control the FDRunder certain conditions. Numerical results confirm the effectiveness androbustness of DT in FDR control and detection ability in many settings.
