Abstract: We introduce a novel sufficient dimension-reduction (SDR) method which is robust against outliers using α-distance covariance (dCov) in dimension-reduction problems. Under very mild conditions on the predictors, the central subspace is effectively estimated and model-free without estimating link function based on the projection on the Stiefel manifold. We establish the convergence property of the proposed estimation under some regularity conditions. We compare the performance of our method with existing SDR methods by simulation and real data analysis and show that our algorithm improves the computational efficiency and effectiveness.
