PTED: A multi-dimensional two-sample test for scientific inference and generative machine learning

Read the original on arXiv Statistics ML →

The article introduces PTED, a Python implementation of a permutation test based on the Energy Distance for two-sample testing in multiple dimensions. PTED uses pairwise distances to compute a test statistic that works in high dimensions, on learned feature representations, and for any data type where a distance can be defined. The authors demonstrate that PTED scales linearly with dimensions and sample size while retaining strong discriminative power, and show it outperforms other multi‑dimensional tests in sensitivity.

Testing Distributions Against Bounded Distinguishers

arXiv:2607. 15645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the challenge of testing distributions over high-dimensional or continuous domains, we study distribution testing with respect to bounded classes of distinguishers.

Efficient and Stable Multi-Dimensional Kolmogorov-Smirnov Distance

arXiv:2504. 11299v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We revisit extending the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance between probability distributions to the multi-dimensional setting, and make new arguments about the proper way to approach this generalization.
