Uniformity Testing over Hypergrids with Subcube Conditioning

Abstract

We give an algorithm for testing uniformity of distributions supported on hypergrids [m1]××[mn][m_1] \times \cdots \times [m_n], which makes O~(poly(m)n/ϵ2)\smash{\widetilde{O}(\text{poly}(m)\sqrt{n}/\epsilon^2)} many queries to a subcube conditional sampling oracle with m=maximim=\max_i m_i. When mm is a constant, our algorithm is nearly optimal and strengthens the algorithm of [CCK+21] which has the same query complexity but works for hypercubes {±1}n\{\pm 1\}^n only. A key technical contribution behind the analysis of our algorithm is a proof of a robust version of Pisier's inequality for functions over hypergrids using Fourier analysis.
