Abstract
Regression is one of the most fundamental statistical inference problems. A broad definition of regression problems is as estimation of the distribution of an outcome using a family of probability models indexed by covariates. Despite the ubiquitous nature of regression problems and the abundance of related methods and results there is a surprising gap in the literature. There are no well established methods for regression with a varying dimension covariate vectors, despite the common occurrence of such problems. In this paper we review some recent related papers proposing varying dimension regression by way of random partitions.
