Using intraslice covariances for improved estimation of the central subspace in regression
利用片内协方差改进回归中心子空间估计
Popular methods for estimating the central subspace in regression require slicing a continuous response. However, slicing can result in loss of information and in some cases that loss can be substantial. We use intraslice covariances to construct improved inference methods for the central subspace. These methods are optimal within a class of quadratic inference functions and permit chi-squared tests of conditional independence hypotheses involving the predictors. Our…
