The higher-order inverse regression methods, which form a major family of SDR methods that are superior to SIR in the population level, suffer from the dimensionality of their intermediate matrix-valued parameters that have an excessive number of columns. In this paper, we propose the generic idea of using a small subset of columns of the matrix-valued parameter for SDR estimation, which breaks the convention of using the ambient matrix for the higher-order inverse regression methods. With the aid of a quick column selection procedure, we then generalize these methods as well as their ensembles towards sparsity under the ultrahigh-dimensional settings, in a uniform manner that resembles sparse SIR and without additional assumptions. This is the first promising attempt in the literature to free the higher-order inverse regression methods from their dimensionality, which facilitates the applicability of SDR. The gain of column selection with respect to SDR estimation efficiency is also studied under the fixed-dimensional settings. Simulation studies and a real data example are provided at the end.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.08284v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.08284v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-unified-generalization-of-inverse","repo_url":"https://github.com/yinjinstat/acs-method","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
