Random Restrictions of High-Dimensional Distributions and Uniformity Testing with Subcube Conditioning
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
We give a nearly-optimal algorithm for testing uniformity of distributions supported on -1,1n, which makes tilde O (√n/varepsilon2) queries to a subcube conditional sampling oracle (Bhattacharyya and Chakraborty (2018)). The key technical component is a natural notion of random restriction for distributions on -1,1n, and a quantitative analysis of how such a restriction affects the mean vector of the distribution. Along the way, we consider the problem of mean testing with independent samples and provide a nearly-optimal algorithm.
