Abstract:

The partial envelope model is a parsimonious method for multivariate linear regression when some of the predictors are of special interest. It has the potential to achieve massive efficiency gains compared to the standard model in the estimation of the coefficients for the selected predictors, therefore can greatly reduce the sample size in a study. The partial envelope model is a variation on the envelope model, proposed by Cook, Li and Chiaromonte (2010) but, as it focuses on part of the predictors, it has looser restrictions and can further improve efficiency.
