摘　　要：For high-dimensional nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem in which the data dimension is larger than the sample size,the authors propose two test statistics in which one is U-statistic Rankbased Test(URT)and another is Cauchy Combination Test(CCT).CCT is analogous to the maximumtype test,while URT takes into account the sum of squares of differences of ranked samples in different dimensions,which is free of shapes of distributions and robust to outliers.The asymptotic distribution of URT is derived and the closed form for calculating the statistical significance of CCT is given.Extensive simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the finite sample power performance of the statistics by comparing with the existing method.The simulation results show that our URT is robust and powerful method,meanwhile,its practicability and effectiveness can be illustrated by an application to the gene expression data.
