报告摘要：

  Elliptical distributions provide a flexible and widely used extension of multivariate normal distribution. They play a critical role in many statistical procedures when dealing with high-dimensional data. However, goodness-of-fit testing for elliptical distributions remains challenging when the dimension is comparable to or larger than the sample size. In this work, we propose a correlation-free test for high-dimensional elliptical distributions. We establish high-dimensional Gaussian approximation for the test statistic under general correlation structures, allowing the dimension to grow as log p=o(n^{1/14})) under finite moment conditions, without using the inverse sample covariance matrix. We further develop Gaussian multiplier bootstrap test procedure and prove its theoretical validity. Numerical studies demonstrate stable finite-sample behavior and favorable power against a range of alternatives. Applications to real datasets illustrate practical utility of the proposed test.
