Multivariate multiple linear regression with a constraint that the coefficient matrix should be of low rank.

Reduced rank regression (RRR) is multivariate multiple linear regression with a constraint that the coefficient matrix should be of low rank. It allows to investigate how one multivariate dataset $X$ can predict another multivariate dataset $Y$, by performing a dimensionality reduction in both $X$ and $Y$ at the same time. It is closely related to canonical correlation analysis (CCA).

What is the relationship between regression and linear discriminant analysis (LDA)?

Is there a relationship between regression and linear discriminant analysis (LDA)? What are their similarities and differences? Does it make any difference if there are two classes or more than two classes?

What is "reduced-rank regression" all about?

I have been reading The Elements of Statistical Learning and I could not understand what Section 3.7 "Multiple outcome shrinkage and selection" is all about. It talks about RRR (reduced-rank regression), and I can only understand that the premise is…

What is the connection between partial least squares, reduced rank regression, and principal component regression?

Are reduced rank regression and principal component regression just special cases of partial least squares? This tutorial (Page 6, "Comparison of Objectives") states that when we do partial least squares without projecting X or Y (i.e., "not…

Friendly tutorial or introduction to reduced-rank regression

I am trying to learn Reduced-Rank Regression (RRR) from The Elements of Statistical Learning. I find the writing and them mathematics a little too prohibitive. Does any of you have a resource/text/introduction/tutorial that is friendlier as an…

Probabilistic models for partial least squares, reduced rank regression, and canonical correlation analysis?

This question results from the discussion following a previous question: What is the connection between partial least squares, reduced rank regression, and principal component regression? For principal component analysis, a commonly used…

Is there a way to specify reduced-rank regression using $\mathbf{y} = \mathbf{X}\boldsymbol\beta + \boldsymbol\epsilon$?

In grad school, I was always taught the general linear model $$\mathbf{y} = \mathbf{X}\boldsymbol\beta + \boldsymbol\epsilon\tag{1}$$ where $\mathbf{y}$ is a vector, $\mathbf{X}$ is some matrix, $\boldsymbol\beta$ is a parameter vector, and…

Objective function of canonical correlation analysis (CCA)

Given two vectors of random variables $X$ and $Y$, Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) finds the transformation matrices $A$ and $B$ so that $\operatorname{corr}(A_{1*} X, B_{1*} Y)$ is first maximal, $\operatorname{corr}(A_{2*} X, B_{2*} Y)$ is…

Low Rank Gaussian Process vs Bayesian Linear Regression

A main benefit of Gaussian Process Regression is, that we not only get a prediction, but also a variance that we might use as indication of the prediction confidence. While bayesian linear regression also provides a variance, it is well published…

Reduced rank regression with binary outcome variable

I am trying to find dietary patterns related to a disease outcome. Unfortunately, I only have the binary outcome "disease yes/no" as outcome. I tried to perform PCA on the data, but the dietary patterns are not specific enough for my outcome.…

Definition of "meta-parameter"

What is meant by the term "meta-parameter"? Can a definition, informal and/or formal, be provided? For example, in reduced-rank regression, the rank ($r$) can be referred to as a meta-parameter of the method. For instance, see these notes, which I…

Is low rank finite-iteration manifold identification possible?

In sparse optimization, I am trying to solve the problem $$ \min_{x\in \mathbb R^{n}} \quad f(x) + \|x\|_1 $$ and at optimality, $x^*$ may be sparse. If I define the sparse manifold as $\mathcal M = \{z : z_i = 0 \text{ whenever } x_i^* = 0\}$,…
