用于线性与非线性充分降维的主支持向量机AI 解读

We introduce a principal support vector machine (PSVM) approach that can be used for both linear and nonlinear sufficient dimension reduction. The basic idea is to divide the response variables into slices and use a modified form of support vector machine to find the optimal hyperplanes that separate them. These optimal hyperplanes are then aligned by the principal components of their normal vectors. It is proved that the aligned normal vectors provide an unbiased,…

分组降维AI 解读

In many regression applications, the predictors fall naturally into a number of groups or domains, and it is often desirable to establish a domain-specific relation between the predictors and the response. In this article, we consider dimension reduction that incorporates such domain knowledge. The proposed method is based on the derivative of the conditional mean, where the differential operator is constrained to the form of a direct sum. This formulation also accommodates…

矩阵与数组型统计对象的维度折叠AI 解读

We consider dimension reduction for regression or classification in which the predictors are matrix- or array-valued. This type of predictor arises when measurements are obtained for each combination of two or more underlying variables—for example, the voltage measured at different channels and times in electroencephalography data. For these applications, it is desirable to preserve the array structure of the reduced predictor (e.g., time versus channel), but this cannot be…

非椭圆分布预测变量的降维AI 解读

Sufficient dimension reduction methods often require stringent conditions on the joint distribution of the predictor, or, when such conditions are not satisfied, rely on marginal transformation or reweighting to fulfill them approximately. For example, a typical dimension reduction method would require the predictor to have elliptical or even multivariate normal distribution. In this paper, we reformulate the commonly used dimension reduction methods, via the notion of…

多元响应降维的投影重抽样方法AI 解读

Consider the dimension reduction problem where both the response and the predictor are vectors. Existing estimators of this problem take one of the following routes: (1) targeting the part of the dimension reduction space that is related to the conditional mean (or moments) of the response vector, (2) pooling the estimates for the marginal dimension reduction spaces, and (3) estimating the whole dimension reduction space directly by multivariate slicing. However, the first…

测量误差回归中的替代变量降维：不变性规律AI 解读

We consider a general nonlinear regression problem where the predictors contain measurement error. It has been recently discovered that several well-known dimension reduction methods, such as OLS, SIR and pHd, can be performed on the surrogate regression problem to produce consistent estimates for the original regression problem involving the unobserved true predictor. In this paper we establish a general invariance law between the surrogate and the original dimension…

用于降维的方向回归AI 解读

We introduce directional regression (DR) as a method for dimension reduction. Like contour regression, DR is derived from empirical directions, but achieves higher accuracy and requires substantially less computation. DR naturally synthesizes the dimension reduction estimators based on conditional moments, such as sliced inverse regression and sliced average variance estimation, and in doing so combines the advantages of these methods. Under mild conditions, it provides…

等值线回归：充分降维的一般方法AI 解读

We propose a novel approach to sufficient dimension reduction in regression, based on estimating contour directions of small variation in the response. These directions span the orthogonal complement of the minimal space relevant for the regression and can be extracted according to two measures of variation in the response, leading to simple and general contour regression (SCR and GCR) methodology. In comparison with existing sufficient dimension reduction techniques, this…

迭代 Hessian 变换的维数确定AI 解读

The central mean subspace (CMS) and iterative Hessian transformation (IHT) have been introduced recently for dimension reduction when the conditional mean is of interest. Suppose that X is a vector-valued predictor and Y is a scalar response. The basic problem is to find a lower-dimensional predictor ηTX such that E(Y|X)=E(Y|ηTX). The CMS defines the inferential object for this problem and IHT provides an estimating procedure. Compared with other methods, IHT requires fewer…

含类别预测变量回归中的条件均值降维AI 解读

Consider the regression of a response Y on a vector of quantitative predictors $\X$ and a categorical predictor W. In this article we describe a first method for reducing the dimension of $\X$ without loss of information on the conditional mean $\mathrm{E}(Y|\X,W)$ and without requiring a prespecified parametric model. The method, which allows for, but does not require, parametric versions of the subpopulation mean functions $\mathrm{E}(Y|\X,W=w)$, includes a procedure for…

含类别预测变量的回归充分降维AI 解读

In this article, we describe how the theory of sufficient dimension reduction, and a well-known inference method for it (sliced inverse regression), can be extended to regression analyses involving both quantitative and categorical predictor variables. As statistics faces an increasing need for effective analysis strategies for high-dimensional data, the results we present significantly widen the applicative scope of sufficient dimension reduction and open the way for a new…

回归条件均值的降维AI 解读

In many situations regression analysis is mostly concerned with inferring about the conditional mean of the response given the predictors, and less concerned with the other aspects of the conditional distribution. In this paper we develop dimension reduction methods that incorporate this consideration. We introduce the notion of the Central Mean Subspace (CMS), a natural inferential object for dimension reduction when the mean function is of interest. We study properties of…

观测 Fisher 信息的二阶最优性AI 解读

The realized error of an estimate is determined not only by the efficiency of the estimator, but also by chance. For example, suppose that we have observed a bivariate normal vector whose expectation is known to be on a circle. Then, intuitively, the longer that vector happens to be, the more accurately its angle is likely to be estimated. Yet this chance, though its information is contained in the data, cannot be accounted for by the variance of the estimate. One way to…

估计方程一致性与效率的极小极大方法AI 解读

The consistency of estimating equations has been studied, in the main, along the lines of Cramér's classical argument, which only asserts the existence of consistent solutions. The statement similar to that of Doob and Wald, which identifies the consistent solutions, has not yet been established. The obstacle is that the solutions of estimating equations cannot in general be defined as the maximum of likelihood functions. In this paper we demonstrate that the consistent…

投影部分似然及其在纵向数据中的应用AI 解读

An estimating equation, which we call the projected partial score, is introduced for longitudinal data analysis. The estimating equation is obtained by projecting the partial likelihood score function onto the vector space spanned by a class of ‘conditionally linear’ estimating equations. We demonstrate that removing certain terms from the projection of the full likelihood score does not alter important inferential properties of the estimating equation, and doing so is…

拟似然方法的离差函数AI 解读

We introduce a deviance function that can be used in conjunction with the quasi-likelihood method. The need for such functions arises when the quasi-log likelihood function is not uniquely defined. The deviance is obtained by projecting a pair of centred likelihood ratios onto the direct sum of two Hilbert spaces spanned by the observations. Locally at the null and the alternative hypotheses, the deviance function is equivalent to the quasi-log likelihood ratio provided that…

参数非线性函数后验密度的拉普拉斯展开AI 解读

An asymptotic expansion for marginal posterior densities of nonlinear functions of parameters is derived. The density in question is proportional to an integral over a lower dimensional manifold with the integrand including an appropriate change-in-volume term, Laplace's method is applied to obtain the expansion. Avoiding the difficult step of the explicit parameterization of the manifold, we carry out the expansion via an implicit and local parameterization, and the…
