CVE, similarly to its main competitor, the mean average variance estimation (MAVE), is not based on inverse regression, and does not require the restrictive linearity and constant variance conditions of moment based SDR methods. CVE is data-driven and applies to additive error regressions with continuous predictors and link function. The effectiveness and accuracy of CVE compared to MAVE and other SDR techniques is demonstrated in simulation studies. CVE is shown to outperform MAVE in some model set-ups, while it remains largely on par under most others. Let \eqn{Y} be real denotes a univariate response and \eqn{X} a real \eqn{p}-dimensional covariate vector. We assume that the dependence of \eqn{Y} and \eqn{X} is modelled by \deqn{Y = g(B'X) + \epsilon} where \eqn{X} is independent of \eqn{\epsilon} with positive definite variance-covariance matrix \eqn{Var(X) = \Sigma_X}. \eqn{\epsilon} is a mean zero random variable with finite \eqn{Var(\epsilon) = E(\epsilon^2)}, \eqn{g} is an unknown, continuous non-constant function, and \eqn{B = (b_1, ..., b_k)} is a real \eqn{p \times k}{p x k} of rank \eqn{k <= p}{k \leq p}. Without loss of generality \eqn{B} is assumed to be orthonormal. }
