Density Ratio Estimation and Importance-Weighted Regression Under Target Shift
This paper examines how to estimate density ratios and perform importance-weighted regression when the output distribution shifts between training and test data while the conditional input distribution given outputs stays the same. The authors derive optimal estimation approaches for this continuous-output target shift setting. The work falls in the statistical machine learning area of distribution shift and covariate/label shift correction.
