Sufficient Dimension Reduction Summaries

چکیده
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 sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) summaries in estimating covariate balanced comparisons among multiple populations. SDR theory is related to the dimension reduction considered in regression theory. SDR summaries share much with sufficient statistics and encompass propensities. A specific type of SDR summary can wholly replace the original covariates with no loss of information or efficiency. Estimators with minimal expected loss can be based on these SDR summaries rather than all of the covariates.

Sufficient dimension reduction via bayesian mixture modeling.
Dimension reduction is central to an analysis of data with many predictors. Sufficient dimension reduction aims to identify the smallest possible number of linear combinations of the predictors, called the sufficient predictors, that retain all of the information in the predictors about the response distribution. In this article, we propose a Bayesian solution for sufficient dimension reduction...
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 کاملDimension-Reduction in Binary Response Regression
The idea of dimension-reduction without loss of information can be quite helpful for guiding the construction of summary plots in regression without requiring a pre-specified model. Focusing on the central subspace, we investigate such “sufficient” dimension-reduction in regressions with a binary response. Three existing methods, SIR and pHd and SAVE, and one new method DOC are studied for thei...
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...
