About the Lab

Professor Junyong Park's research lab specializes in statistical inference and machine learning for high-dimensional and complex data, with a strong focus on robust multivariate analysis, classification under non-ideal conditions (e.g., unequal variances, sparse data), and efficient deep learning on resource-constrained devices. The lab develops innovative statistical methods—such as generalized p-values, near-exact distributions, and nonparametric empirical Bayes frameworks—for challenging problems like the multivariate Behrens–Fisher problem and high-dimensional classification. It also bridges theoretical statistics with practical applications in real-world data, including text classification and edge AI. The lab emphasizes methodological innovation that enhances accuracy, power, and efficiency in data analysis under uncertainty and limited resources.

Some Aspects of Multivariate Behrens-Fisher Problem
Junyong Park, Bimal K. Sinha
SJR Q4Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin

In this paper we discuss the well known multivariate Behrens-Fisher problem which deals with testing the equality of two normal mean vectors under heteroscedasticity of dispersion matrices. Some existing tests are reviewed and a new test based on Roy's union-intersection principle coupled with the generalized P-value is proposed. The tests are compared with respect to size and power based on simulation, and applied to a few useful data sets. AMS (2000) Subject Classification : 62H10, 62H15.

In this article, we study the methods for two-sample hypothesis testing of high-dimensional data coming from a multivariate binary distribution. We test the random projection method and apply an Edgeworth expansion for improvement. Additionally, we propose new statistics which are especially useful for sparse data. We compare the performance of these tests in various scenarios through simulations run in a parallel computing environment. Additionally, we apply these tests to the 20 Newsgroup data

An Exact and Near-Exact Distribution Approach to the Behrens–Fisher Problem
Serim Hong, Carlos A. Coelho, Junyong Park
SJR Q2MathematicsOA

The Behrens–Fisher problem occurs when testing the equality of means of two normal distributions without the assumption that the two variances are equal. This paper presents approaches based on the exact and near-exact distributions for the test statistic of the Behrens–Fisher problem, depending on different combinations of even or odd sample sizes. We present the exact distribution when both sample sizes are odd and the near-exact distribution when one or both sample sizes are even. The near-ex

Improved Early Exiting Activation to Accelerate Edge Inference
Junyong Park, Jong-Ryul Lee, Yong-Hyuk Moon
2021 International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC)

As mobile & edge devices are getting powerful, on-device deep learning is becoming a reality. However, there are still many challenges for deep learning edge inferences, such as limited resources such as computing power, memory space, and energy. To address these challenges, model compression such as channel pruning, low rank representation, network quantization, and early exiting has been introduce to reduce the computational load of neural networks at a whole. In this paper, we propose an impr

High‐dimensional classification based on nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation under unknown and inhomogeneous variances

SJR Q2Statistical Analysis and Data Mining The ASA Data Science Journal

Abstract We propose a new method in high‐dimensional classification based on estimation of high‐dimensional mean vector under unknown and unequal variances. Our proposed method is based on a semi‐parametric model that combines nonparametric and parametric models for mean and variance, respectively. Our proposed method is designed to be robust to the structure of the mean vector, while most existing methods are developed for some specific cases such as either sparse or non‐sparse case of the mean
