On a projection-based class of uniformity tests on the hypersphere

Abstract: We propose a projection-based class of uniformity tests on the hypersphere using statistics that integrate, along all possible directions, the weighted quadratic discrepancy between the empirical cumulative distribution function of the projected data and the projected uniform distribution. Simple expressions for several test statistics are obtained for the circle and sphere, and relatively tractable forms for higher dimensions. Despite its different origin, the proposed class is shown to be related with the we… Show more

“…We tested whether the gland point cloud follows a uniform distribution, where every unit area of the skin has the same probability of containing oil glands; or if the underlying distribution is rotationally symmetric, where the oil glands pattern is symmetrical around a fixed direction. Uniformity was tested with Projected Anderson-Darling (PAD) test (García-Portugués et al, 2020) with the R package sphunif (García-Portugués and Verdebout, 2021). The rotational symmetry was tested with a scatter-location hybrid test with an unspecified direction of symmetry (García-Portugués et al, 2020) with the R package rotasym (García-Portugués et al, 2021).…”

Additionally, we visually examined the distribution of oil glands for most fruits and compared them to simulated uniform distributions by projecting them to 2D via Lambert azimuthal equal-area projections (Mardia and Jupp, 1999, Ch.…”

“…Tests in the high-dimensional context were considered in Cai and Jiang (2012), Cai et al (2013), and Cutting et al (2017). Projection-based tests were proposed in Cuesta-Albertos et al (2009) and García-Portugués et al (2020a). Uniformity tests were used in García-Portugués et al (2020b) to construct tests for rotational symmetry.…”

“…While a sizable number of tests of uniformity on S p−1 exist (see a review in García-Portugués and Verdebout (2018)), perhaps the two most known omnibus tests are that of Kuiper (1960) and Watson (1961) on S 1 : their statistics, V n and U 2 n , can be regarded as the rotation-invariant versions of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramér-von Mises tests of uniformity, respectively. Moving beyond S 1 has proven a challenging task for ecdf-based tests up to relatively recent years, with Cuesta-Albertos et al ( 2009) using a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test on random projections data and García-Portugués et al (2020) proposing a class of projected-ecdf statistics that extends Watson (1961) test to S p−1 (see Section 3.1). As in the classical setting, tests of uniformity on S p−1 allow for testing the goodnessof-fit of more general distributions: in S 1 , this is a straightforward application of the probability integral transform in the angles space [−π, π); the case S p−1 , p ≥ 3, is remarkably more complex and has been recently put forward in Jupp and Kume (2020).…”
