A New Approach to Distribution Testing Kane, Daniel
Description
We study the problem of determining whether or not a
discrete distribution has a given property from a small number of
samples. We present a new technique in this field that operates by
reducing many such problems in a black box way to a simple L^2 tester.
We show how this new technique can recover simple proofs of several
known, optimal results and how it can be extended to provide optimal
solutions to a number of previously unsolved problems.
