New Conditional Kernel Stein Discrepancy framework introduced for distribution comparison

Researchers have introduced a new framework called Conditional Kernel Stein Discrepancy (CKSD) to assess how well a dataset's conditional distribution matches a target conditional model. This method extends existing Kernel Stein Discrepancies (KSDs) by using an operator-valued kernel on the covariate space, enabling comparisons even when the covariate distribution is unknown. The proposed statistic is shown to vanish if and only if the conditional model and the true conditional distribution align across most covariates, and has been demonstrated to be viable for testing on smooth manifolds and discrete spaces.
