A new affine invariant extension of the quadrant test statistic Blomqvist (Ann. Math. Statist. 21 (1950) 593) based on spatial signs is proposed for testing the hypothesis of independence. In the elliptic case, the new test statistic is asymptotically equivalent to the interdirection test by Gieser and Randles (J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 92 (1997) 561) but is easier to compute in practice. Limiting Pitman efficiencies and simulations are used to compare the test to the classical Wilks’ test.

Affine-invariant rank tests for multivariate independence in independent component models
Oja, Hannu; Paindaveine, Davy; Taskinen, Sara (Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2016)We consider the problem of testing for multivariate independence in independent component (IC) models. Under a symmetry assumption, we develop parametric and nonparametric (signed-rank) tests. Unlike in independent ... -
Decision making in multiobjective optimization problems under uncertainty : balancing between robustness and quality
Zhou-Kangas, Yue; Miettinen, Kaisa (Springer, 2019)As an emerging research field, multiobjective robust optimization employs minmax robustness as the most commonly used concept. Light robustness is a concept in which a parameter, tolerable degradations, can be used to ... -
LR-NIMBUS : an interactive algorithm for uncertain multiobjective optimization with lightly robust efficient solutions
Koushki, Javad; Miettinen, Kaisa; Soleimani-damaneh, Majid (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)In this paper, we develop an interactive algorithm to support a decision maker to find a most preferred lightly robust efficient solution when solving uncertain multiobjective optimization problems. It extends the interactive ... -
Robustifying principal component analysis with spatial sign vectors
Taskinen, Sara; Koch, Inge; Oja, Hannu (Elsevier, 2012)In this paper, we apply orthogonally equivariant spatial sign covariance matrices as well as their affine equivariant counterparts in principal component analysis. The influence functions and asymptotic covariance matrices ... -
Multivariate nonparametric tests of independence
Taskinen, Sara; Randles, Ronald; Oja, Hannu (American Statistical Association, 2005)New test statistics are proposed for testing whether two random vectors are independent. Gieser and Randles, as well as Taskinen, Kankainen, and Oja have introduced and discussed multivariate extensions of the quadrant ...
