contents This paper addresses hypothesis testing for the mean of matrix-valued data in high-dimensional settings. We investigate the minimum discrepancy test, originally proposed by Cragg (1997), which serves as a rank test for lower-dimensional matrices. We evaluate the performance of this test as the matrix dimensions increase proportionally with the sample size, and identify its limitations when matrix dimensions significantly exceed the sample size. To address these challenges, we propose a new test statistic tailored for high-dimensional matrix rank testing. The oracle version of this statistic is analyzed to highlight its theoretical properties. Additionally, we develop a novel approach for constructing a sparse singular value decomposition (SVD) estimator for singular vectors, providing a comprehensive examination of its theoretical aspects. Using the sparse SVD estimator, we explore the properties of the sample version of our proposed statistic. The paper concludes with simulation studies and two case studies involving surveillance video data, demonstrating the practical utility of our proposed methods.
