Principal component models for correlation matrices
相关矩阵的主成分模型
Distributional theory regarding principal components is less well developed for correlation matrices than it is for covariance matrices. The intent of this paper is to reduce this disparity. Methods are proposed that enable investigators to fit and to make inferences about flexible principal components models for correlation matrices. The models allow arbitrary eigenvalue multiplicities and allow the distinct eigenvalues to be modelled parametrically or nonparametrically.…
