Geometric interpretation of the problem. The true distribution function P0(Y|X) for Y given (X, Z) across all values of β is depicted in the left panel, with the true value of β, i.e., β0 shown. In the right top panel, we see the true distribution function P0(Y|X) for Y given X across all values of β with β0 shown. The assumed external data model is given in the bottom right panel across all values of θ, with the solution θ* to (1) being shown as the minimizer of the Kullback-Leibler distance between the fixed P0(Y|X) and the model space of gθ(Y|X).
