Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a popular statistical tool in multivariate analysis. A regularized version is often used to stabilize the estimate. Motivated by recent interests in sketching estimates for linear regression problems which try to address the computational problem associated with massive data sets, here we investigate the sketched estimation for CCA, which includes the random subsampling approach as a special case. Some theoretical results are established based on perturbation theory. The method is also illustrated via some Monte Carlo studies and a real data analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we propose a new method for estimating the number of equal components m0 of two m-dimensional population means when m is large. The proposed method can be used to estimate the number of equally expressed or differentially expressed genes in DNA microarray studies. It can also be applied in the step of estimating m0 in adaptive false discovery rate controlling procedures. Simulation results show that the bias of the moment estimator is very small for both normal and non normal data. It has higher precision than existing methods in most cases. It has more evident advantage under non normal data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Hosmer–Lemeshow test is a widely used method for evaluating the goodness of fit of logistic regression models. But its power is much influenced by the sample size, like other chi-square tests. Paul, Pennell, and Lemeshow (2013) considered using a large number of groups for large data sets to standardize the power. But simulations show that their method performs poorly for some models. In addition, it does not work when the sample size is larger than 25,000. In the present paper, we propose a modified Hosmer–Lemeshow test that is based on estimation and standardization of the distribution parameter of the Hosmer–Lemeshow statistic. We provide a mathematical derivation for obtaining the critical value and power of our test. Through simulations, we can see that our method satisfactorily standardizes the power of the Hosmer–Lemeshow test. It is especially recommendable for enough large data sets, as the power is rather stable. A bank marketing data set is also analyzed for comparison with existing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we develop a method for checking the estimation equations, which is for joint estimation of the regression parameters and the overdispersion parameters, based on one dimension projected covariate. This method is different from the general testing methods in that our proposed method can be applied to high-dimensional response while the classical testing methods can not be extended to high dimension problem simply to construct a powerful test. Furthermore, the properties of the test statistics are investigated and Nonparametric Monte Carlo Test (NMCT) is suggested to determine the critical values of the test statistics under null hypothesis.
