Peeking with PEAK: Sequential, Nonparametric Composite Hypothesis Tests for Means of Multiple Data Streams
Brian Cho · Nathan Kallus · Kyra Gan
We propose a novel nonparametric sequential test for composite hypotheses for means of multiple data streams. Our proposed method, peeking with expectation-based averaged capital (PEAK), builds upon the testing-as-betting framework and provides a non-asymptotic α-level test across any stopping time. PEAK is computationally tractable and efficiently rejects hypotheses that are incorrect across all potential distributions that satisfy our nonparametric assumption, enabling joint composite hypothesis testing on multiple streams of data. We numerically validate our the- oretical findings under the best arm identification and threshold identification in the bandit setting, illustrating the computational efficiency of our method against state-of-the-art testing methods.
