Optimal Transport Based Testing in Factorial Design
Authors Groppe M, Niemöller L, Hundrieser S, Ventzke D, Blob A, Köster S, Munk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2509.13970. Abstract We introduce a general framework for testing statistical hypotheses for probability measures supported on finite spaces, which is based on optimal transport (OT). These tests are inspired by the analysis
