Abstract:

Few methodologies are available for estimating the central subspace for regressions with multivariate responses due to the difficulties arising from slicing multivariate responses. Setodji and Cook(2004) introduced a new way of performing the slicing. They developed a method called k-means inverse regression (KIR), which makes use of the K-means algorithm to cluster the observed response vectors. However, their method ignored the intra-cluster information which could be substantial under some circumstances. In this paper, we proposed an improved method by incorporating the intra-cluster information into estimation. Our method outperformed KIR with respect to estimation accuracies of both the central subspace and its dimension. It also allows us to test the predictor effects in a model-free approach.
