\description{
This is the main function in the \code{CVE} package. It creates objects of
class \code{"cve"} to estimate the mean subspace. Helper functions that
require a \code{"cve"} object can then be applied to the output from this
function.
Conditional Variance Estimation (CVE) is a sufficient dimension reduction
(SDR) method for regressions studying \eqn{E(Y|X)}, the conditional
expectation of a response \eqn{Y} given a set of predictors \eqn{X}. This
function provides methods for estimating the dimension and the subspace
spanned by the columns of a \eqn{p\times k}{p x k} matrix \eqn{B} of minimal
rank \eqn{k} such that
\deqn{E(Y|X) = E(Y|B'X)}
or, equivalently,
\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} matrix of rank \eqn{k \leq p}{k <= p}.
Both the dimension \eqn{k} and the subspace \eqn{span(B)} are unknown. The
CVE method makes very few assumptions.
A kernel matrix \eqn{\hat{B}}{Bhat} is estimated such that the column space
of \eqn{\hat{B}}{Bhat} should be close to the mean subspace \eqn{span(B)}.
The primary output from this method is a set of orthonormal vectors,
\eqn{\hat{B}}{Bhat}, whose span estimates \eqn{span(B)}.
The method central implements the Ensemble Conditional Variance Estimation
(ECVE) as described in [2]. It augments the CVE method by applying an
ensemble of functions (parameter \code{func_list}) to the response to
estimate the central subspace. This corresponds to the generalization
\deqn{F(Y|X) = F(Y|B'X)}
or, equivalently,
\deqn{Y = g(B'X, \epsilon)}
where \eqn{F} is the conditional cumulative distribution function.
