New RKHS method advances density ratio estimation for continuous outputs

Researchers have developed a novel spectral regularization method within a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) to address density ratio estimation and importance-weighted regression challenges in continuous output settings under target shift. This method provides explicit finite-sample convergence rates, achieving minimax-optimal RKHS-norm rates. The approach also analyzes the error propagation from density ratio estimation to the final predictor, demonstrating that the regression estimator can attain optimal rates when sufficient samples are available for density ratio estimation. AI

IMPACT Establishes a finite-sample theory for continuous density ratio estimation, potentially improving machine learning model robustness under distribution shifts.

    Learning under Target Shift: Optimal Density Ratio Estimation and Importance-Weighted Regression

    arXiv:2609.15785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study density ratio estimation and importance-weighted regression under target shift with continuous outputs. Under target shift, the conditional distribution of the inputs given the outputs remains invariant across the trainin…
