“…The FSIRR method aims to overcome the symmetric dependency by transforming the response variable, which folds up or down the link function f (·) around the axis of symmetry. In particular, in accordance with the idea of Prendergast & Garnham (2016), the transformation function is defined as follows:where μ is the mean function of the predictor X , and v is the axis of symmetry. To implement the proposed FSIRR method, we must first estimate μ , which is the mean function of X , and v is the initial estimation of the axis of symmetry and the regression function E[ Y |〈 X , v 〉=〈 X , μ 〉].…”
