Likelihood-based Sufficient Dimension Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We obtain the maximum likelihood estimator of the central subspace under conditional normality of the predictors given the response. Analytically and in simulations we found that our new estimator can preform much better than sliced inverse regression, sliced average variance estimation and directional regression, and that it seems quite robust to deviations from normality.

Sufficient dimension reduction for censored predictors.
Motivated by a study conducted to evaluate the associations of 51 inflammatory markers and lung cancer risk, we propose several approaches of varying computational complexity for analyzing multiple correlated markers that are also censored due to lower and/or upper limits of detection, using likelihood-based sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) methods. We extend the theory and the likelihood-b...
متن کاملLocal Kernel Dimension Reduction in Approximate Bayesian Computation
Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is a popular sampling method in applications involving intractable likelihood functions. Without evaluating the likelihood function, ABC approximates the posterior distribution by the set of accepted samples which are simulated with parameters drown from the prior distribution, where acceptance is determined by distance between the summary statistics of th...
متن کاملSufficient Dimension Reduction Summaries
Observational studies assessing causal or non-causal relationships between an explanatory measure and an outcome can be complicated by hosts of confounding measures. Large numbers of confounders can lead to several biases in conventional regression based estimation. Inference is more easily conducted if we reduce the number of confounders to a more manageable number. We discuss use of sufficien...
متن کاملTesting Predictor Contributions in Sufficient Dimension Reduction
We develop tests of the hypothesis of no effect for selected predictors in regression, without assuming a model for the conditional distribution of the response given the predictors. Predictor effects need not be limited to the mean function and smoothing is not required. The general approach is based on sufficient dimension reduction, the idea being to replace the predictor vector with a lower...
متن کاملA Study on Imbalance Support Vector Machine Algorithms for Sufficient Dimension Reduction
Li, Artemiou and Li (2011) presented the novel idea of using Support Vector Machines to perform sufficient dimension reduction. In this work, we investigate the potential improvement in recovering the dimension reduction subspace when one changes the Support Vector Machines algorithm to treat imbalance based on several proposals in the machine learning literature. We find out that in most situa...
