Sufficient Dimension Reduction (SDR) becomes an important tool for mitigating the curse of dimensionality in high dimensional regression analysis. Recently, Flexible SDR (FSDR) has been proposed to extend by finding lower projections transformed explanatory variables. The dimensions however cannot fully represent extent data reduction FSDR can achieve. As a consequence, optimality and other theoretical properties are currently not well understood. In this article, we propose use σ-field...
