Spherical Regression Models Using Projective Linear Transformations
使用射影线性变换的球面回归模型
This article studies the problem of modeling relationship between two spherical (or directional) random variables in a regression setup. Here the predictor and the response variables are constrained to be on a unit sphere and, due to this nonlinear condition, the standard Euclidean regression models do not apply. Several past papers have studied this problem, termed spherical regression, by modeling the response variable with a von Mises-Fisher (VMF) density with the mean…
