New statistical test for Fréchet regression introduced

Researchers have developed a new statistical test called the Marginal Coordinate Test for Fréchet Regression with Random Objects. This test aims to determine if a predictor variable offers additional information about a response variable, even when other predictors are already considered. The method utilizes a semi-supervised approach with both labeled and unlabeled data, employing a kernel conditional mean dependence U-statistic. The test establishes theoretical guarantees for its null distribution, bootstrap validity, and power, and includes methods for simultaneous inference and false discovery rate control. Practical applications are demonstrated through simulations and an analysis of New York City taxi data. AI

    Marginal Coordinate Test for Fr\'echet Regression with Random Objects

    arXiv:2608.30644v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a marginal coordinate test for regression with Euclidean predictors and a random-object response in a separable metric space. The goal is to test whether a predictor provides additional information about the response co…
