Popular methods for estimating the central subspace in regression require slicing a continuous response. However, slicing can result in loss of information and in some cases that loss can be substantial. We use intraslice covariances to construct improved inference methods for the central...

We employ Lasso shrinkage within the context of sufficient dimension reduction to obtain a shrinkage sliced inverse regression estimator, which provides easier interpretations and better prediction accuracy without assuming a parametric model. The shrinkage sliced inverse regression approach can...
