About the Lab

Professor Jaegun Yoo's research lab specializes in statistical methodology with a focus on sufficient dimension reduction, particularly in the development of advanced techniques for reducing high-dimensional predictor variables in regression models. The lab explores the central subspace, central mean subspace, and central kth-moment subspace, emphasizing robust estimation methods that do not rely on restrictive assumptions such as linearity or constant variance. A key direction involves theoretical and applied advancements in dimension reduction, including large-sample and permutation-based inference for structural dimension determination. The lab also applies these methods to real-world data, such as urban transit systems, to improve predictive modeling in complex, high-dimensional settings.

Machine learning approach for study on subway passenger flow
Yujin Park, Yoon Hee Choi, Kyongwon Kim, Jae Keun Yoo
SJR Q1Scientific ReportsOA

We investigate regional features nearby the subway station using the clustering method called the funFEM and propose a two-step procedure to predict a subway passenger transport flow by incorporating the geographical information from the cluster analysis to functional time series prediction. A massive smart card transaction dataset is used to analyze the daily number of passengers for each station in Seoul Metro. First, we cluster the stations into six categories with respect to their patterns o

Tutorial: Dimension reduction in regression with a notion of sufficiency
Jae Keun Yoo
SJR Q3Communications for Statistical Applications and MethodsOA

In the paper, we discuss dimension reduction of predictors <TEX>${\mathbf{X}}{\in}{{\mathbb{R}}^p}$</TEX> in a regression of <TEX>$Y{\mid}{\mathbf{X}}$</TEX> with a notion of sufficiency that is called sufficient dimension reduction. In sufficient dimension reduction, the original predictors <TEX>${\mathbf{X}}$</TEX> are replaced by its lower-dimensional linear projection without loss of information on selected aspects of the conditional distribution. Depending on the aspects, the central subspa

Sufficient dimension reduction through informative predictor subspace
Jae Keun Yoo
SJR Q3Statistics

The purpose of this paper is to define the central informative predictor subspace to contain the central subspace and to develop methods for estimating the former subspace. Potential advantages of the proposed methods are no requirements of linearity, constant variance and coverage conditions in methodological developments. Therefore, the central informative predictor subspace gives us the benefit of restoring the central subspace exhaustively despite failing the conditions. Numerical studies co

SJR Q3Communications for Statistical Applications and MethodsOA

In the paper, as a sequence of the first tutorial, we discuss sufficient dimension reduction methodologies used to estimate central subspace (sliced inverse regression, sliced average variance estimation), central mean subspace (ordinary least square, principal Hessian direction, iterative Hessian transformation), and central <TEX>$k^{th}$</TEX>-moment subspace (covariance method). Large-sample tests to determine the structural dimensions of the three target subspaces are well derived in most of

In the paper, we discuss dimension reduction of predictors X ∈ Rp in a regression of Y|X with a notion of sufficiency that is called sufficient dimension reduction. In sufficient dimension reduction, the original predictors X are replaced by its lower-dimensional linear projection without loss of information on selected aspects of the conditional distribution.

Canonical Correlation Analysis Through Linear Modeling
Keunbaik Lee, Jae Keun Yoo
SJR Q3Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics

In this paper, we introduce linear modeling of canonical correlation analysis, which estimates canonical direction matrices by minimising a quadratic objective function. The linear modeling results in a class of estimators of canonical direction matrices, and an optimal class is derived in the sense described herein. The optimal class guarantees several of the following desirable advantages: first, its estimates of canonical direction matrices are asymptotically efficient; second, its test stati

Response dimension reduction: model-based approach
Jae Keun Yoo
SJR Q3Statistics

In this paper, a model-based approach to reduce the dimension of response variables in multivariate regression is newly proposed, following the existing context of the response dimension reduction developed by Yoo and Cook [Response dimension reduction for the conditional mean in multivariate regression. Comput Statist Data Anal. 2008;53:334–343]. The related dimension reduction subspace is estimated by maximum likelihood, assuming an additive error. In the new approach, the linearity condition,
