Complexity of High-Dimensional Identity Testing with Coordinate Conditional Sampling by Blanca, Antonio, Chen, Zongchen, Stefankovic, Daniel, Vigoda, Eric

“…Given as input an explicit distribution , an > 0, and access to sampling oracle(s) for a hidden distribution , the goal in identity testing is to distinguish whether the two distributions and are identical or are at least -far apart. When there is only access to full samples from the hidden distribution , it is known that exponentially many samples (in the dimension) may be needed for identity testing, and hence previous works have studied identity testing with additional access to various “conditional” sampling oracles. …”
