On the structural dimension of sliced inverse regression
切片逆回归的结构维度问题
In this work, we address the longstanding puzzle that Sliced Inverse Regression (SIR) often performs poorly for sufficient dimension reduction when the structural dimension d (the dimension of the central space) exceeds 4. We first show that in the multiple index model Y=f(PX)+ϵ where X is a p-standard normal vector, ϵ is an independent noise, and P is a projection operator from Rp to Rd, if the link function f follows the law of a Gaussian process. Then with high…
