Testing the Number of Common Factors by Bootstrapped Sample Covariance Matrix in High-Dimensional Factor Models
高维因子模型中基于自助样本协方差矩阵的共同因子个数检验
This paper studies the impact of bootstrap procedure on the eigenvalue distributions of the sample covariance matrix under a high-dimensional factor structure. We provide asymptotic distributions for the top eigenvalues of bootstrapped sample covariance matrix under mild conditions. After bootstrap, the spiked eigenvalues which are driven by common factors will converge weakly to Gaussian limits after proper scaling and centralization. However, the largest non-spiked…
