I develop a feasible weighted projected principal component (FPPC) analysis for factor models in which observable characteristics partially explain the latent factors. This novel method provides more efficient and accurate estimators than existing methods. To increase estimation efficiency, I take into account both cross-sectional dependence and heteroskedasticity by using a consistent estimator of the inverse error covariance matrix as the weight matrix. To improve accuracy, I employ a projection approach using characteristics because it removes noise components in high-dimensional factor analysis. By using the FPPC method, estimators of the factors and loadings have faster rates of convergence than those of the conventional factor analysis. Moreover, I propose an FPPC-based diffusion index forecasting model. The limiting distribution of the parameter estimates and the rate of convergence for forecast errors are obtained. Using U.S. bond market and macroeconomic data, I demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms models based on conventional principal component estimators. I also show that the proposed model performs well among a large group of machine learning techniques in forecasting excess bond returns.
通过噪声正则化实现经济预测中的良性过拟合
This paper studies linear overparameterized models in economic forecasting and highlights that including noise variables (regressors with no predictive power) regularizes the estimator. We consider a setting where both the outcome variable and the high-dimensional predictors are driven by a small number of latent factors, and show that the linear forecast model is dense rather than sparse. It turns out that a ridgeless regression augmented with noise predictors attains the…
利用高阶多元累积量估计弱因子
When factors are weak, covariance-based factor analysis methods tend to exhibit poor performance. To address this issue in the case of non-Gaussian data, we propose a new method called Higher-order multi-cumulant Factor Analysis (HFA). HFA estimates factors and factor loadings via the eigenvalue decomposition of the product of a higher-order multi-cumulant matrix and its transpose. We derive the asymptotic properties of HFA under a weak factor model where non-Gaussianity…
概率靶向因子分析
We develop Probabilistic Targeted Factor Analysis (PTFA), a likelihood-based framework for constructing latent factors that are explicitly targeted to variables of economic interest. PTFA provides a probabilistic foundation for Partial Least Squares, allowing supervised factor extraction under uncertainty. The model is estimated via a fast expectation maximization algorithm and naturally accommodates missing data, mixed-frequency observations, stochastic volatility, and…
数据丰富环境中的时变完全子集平均
This study proposes two novel time-varying model-averaging methods for time-varying parameter regression models. When the number of predictors is small, we propose a novel time-varying complete subset-averaging (TVCSA) procedure, where the optimal time-varying subset size is obtained by minimizing the local leave- h -out cross-validation criterion. The TVCSA method is asymptotically optimal for achieving the lowest possible local mean squared error. When the number of…
Summary Various factor estimation procedures have been developed, based on the latent factor model. They often consider general conditions that allow for correlations and heteroscedasticity. However, the conventional principal components method does not efficiently estimate the parameters. It also does not accommodate additional covariates, which explain the unknown factors, even if they are available. In particular, a few aggregated macroeconomic variables can be used as…
增广因子模型:市场风险因子验证与债券风险溢价预测
We study factor models augmented by observed covariates that have explanatory powers on the unknown factors. In financial factor models, the unknown factors can be reasonably well explained by a few observable proxies, such as the Fama–French factors. In diffusion index forecasts, identified factors are strongly related to several directly measurable economic variables such as consumption-wealth variable, financial ratios, and term spread. With those covariates, both the…
