“…This motivated the development of Fréchet dimension reduction which extends existing traditional sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) methods to random response objects in non-Euclidean metric spaces such as probability distributions, symmetric positive definite matrices, and spheres. See Zhang et al (2021) and Dong & Wu (2022) for examples. The goal of the Fréchet SDR is to find the smallest set of linear combinations of X, which captures the relevant information in X needed to predict Y without loss of information.…”
