Collision-based Testers are Optimal for Uniformity and Closeness

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that collision-based testers are information-theoretically optimal, up to constant factors, both in the dependence on the domain size and in the dependency on the error parameter.

Sample-Optimal Identity Testing with High Probability

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the problem of testing identity against a given distribution with a focus on the high confidence regime, and showed that the optimal sample complexity of identity testing is O(1) for any ε = o(1), where ε < 1.

Sublinear-Time Algorithms for Counting Star Subgraphs via Edge Sampling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the National Science Foundation (US) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GCF) grant CCF-1217423 to conduct an experimental study on the effect of the presence of DNA mutations.
