Sharpening Statistical Power by Reducing Ancillary Dependence

    Want to give your statistical test a boost?

    One effective strategy is to reduce its dependence on ancillary statistics-it's like clearing the noise 
    to sharpen the signal. 

    We develop a decision-theoretic framework that improves test statistics by leveraging the principle of independence from ancillary structures.

    I would greatly appreciate any critical feedback, suggestions, or ideas for possible applications.
