Distribution-on-distribution regression via optimal transport maps
通过最优传输映射进行分布对分布回归
Summary We present a framework for performing regression when both covariate and response are probability distributions on a compact interval. Our regression model is based on the theory of optimal transportation, and links the conditional Fréchet mean of the response to the covariate via an optimal transport map. We define a Fréchet-least-squares estimator of this regression map, and establish its consistency and rate of convergence to the true map, under both full and…
