We study the problem of class distribution estimation under dataset shift. On the training dataset, both features and class labels are observed while on the test dataset only the features can be observed. The task then is the estimation of the distribution of the class labels, i.e. the estimation of the class prior probabilities, in the test dataset. Assumptions of invariance between the training joint distribution of features and labels and the test distribution can considerably facilitate this task. We discuss the assumptions of covariate shift, factorizable joint shift, and sparse joint shift and their implications for class distribution estimation.
