چکیده

In Takemura and Kuriki (1999b) we have established that the tube formula and the Euler characteristic method give identical and valid asymptotic expansion of tail probability of the maximum of Gaussian random field when the random field has finite Karhunen-Loève expansion and the index set has positive critical radius. The purpose of this paper is to show that the positiveness of the critical radius is an essential condition. Namely, we prove that if the critical radius is zero, only the main term is valid and other higher order terms are generally not valid in the formal asymptotic expansion based on the tube formula or the Euler characteristic method. Our examples show that index sets with zero critical radius are commonly used in statistics.

Maximum Covariance Difference Test for Equality of Two Covariance Matrices

We propose a test of equality of two covariance matrices based on the maximum standardized difference of scalar covariances of two sample covariance matrices. We derive the tail probability of the asymptotic null distribution of the test statistic by the tube method. However the usual formal tube formula has to be suitably modified, because in this case the index set, around which the tube is f...

Euler characteristic heuristic for approximating the distribution of the largest eigenvalue of an orthogonally invariant random matrix

The Euler characteristic heuristic has been proposed as a method for approximating the upper tail probability of the maximum of a random field with smooth sample path. When the random field is Gaussian, this method is proved to be valid in the sense that the relative approximation error is exponentially smaller. However, very little is known about the validly of the method when the random field...

Simultaneous confidence bands for contrasts between several nonlinear regression curves

We propose simultaneous confidence bands of the hyperbolic-type for the contrasts between several nonlinear (curvilinear) regression curves. The critical value of a confidence band is determined from the distribution of the maximum of a chisquare random process defined on the domain of explanatory variables. We use the volume-of-tube method to derive an upper tail probability formula of the max...

Maximum of Gaussian field on piecewise smooth domain: Equivalence of tube method and Euler characteristic method

Consider a Gaussian random field with finite Karhunen-Loève expansion of the form Z(u) = ∑n i=1 uizi, where zi, i = 1, . . . , n, are independent standard normal variables and u = (u1, . . . , un) ′ ranges over an index set M , which is a subset of the unit sphere Sn−1 in Rn. Under a very general assumption that M is a manifold with piecewise smooth boundary, we prove the validity and the equiv...
