Researchers have developed new methods for target-aware linear regression that address the challenge of distribution shift between training and deployment. The study introduces a benchmark hybrid-loss estimator that incorporates target marginals, alongside two computationally tractable alternatives: a constrained moment-matching estimator and a two-stage estimator. Theoretical analysis and Monte Carlo experiments demonstrate the accuracy-runtime trade-offs of these estimators, offering guidance for practical application, particularly in high signal-to-noise regimes where the two-stage method closely approximates the benchmark.
