Summary We develop new statistical theory for probabilistic principal component analysis models in high dimensions. The focus is the estimation of the noise variance, which is an important and unresolved issue when the number of variables is large in comparison with the sample size. We first unveil the reasons for an observed downward bias of the maximum likelihood estimator of the noise variance when the data dimension is high. We then propose a bias-corrected estimator by using random-matrix theory and establish its asymptotic normality. The superiority of the new and bias-corrected estimator over existing alternatives is checked by Monte Carlo experiments with various combinations of (p, n) (the dimension and sample size). Next, we construct a new criterion based on the bias-corrected estimator to determine the number of the principal components, and a consistent estimator is obtained. Its good performance is confirmed by a simulation study and real data analysis. The bias-corrected estimator is also used to derive new asymptotics for the related goodness-of-fit statistic under the high dimensional scheme.
广义潜在因子模型的可识别性与推断
Generalized latent factor analysis not only provides a useful latent embedding approach in statistics and machine learning, but also serves as a widely used tool across various scientific fields, such as psychometrics, econometrics, and social sciences. Ensuring the identifiability of latent factors and the loading matrix is essential for the model’s estimability and interpretability, and various identifiability conditions have been employed by practitioners. However,…
NMF-FFB:具有前馈-反馈结构的非负矩阵分解
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) approximates a non-negative endogenous data matrix as $Y_1 \approx XB$, with non-negative latent components $X$ and coefficients $B$. Standard covariate-aware NMF is feedforward: $B$ depends only on exogenous variables $Y_2$, with no latent feedback among endogenous variables. We propose NMF-FFB (NMF with feedforward-feedback structure), an exploratory data-fitting framework that embeds the simultaneous equation $B = Θ_1 Y_1 + Θ_2 Y_2$…
网络辅助的高维因子模型估计
This article takes advantage of group-level heterogeneity and network cohesion phenomenon to improve the estimation accuracy of approximate factor models. As large heterogeneous panels become available, a grouped pattern of unobserved heterogeneity in the panel data is highlighted. Clustering of factor loadings provides a solution to model group-level heterogeneity. Moreover, networks are frequently observed in economics and finance, which capture the interconnectivity…
因子分析中的最大软惩罚似然估计
Estimation in exploratory factor analysis often yields estimates on the boundary of the parameter space. Such occurrences, known as Heywood cases, are characterised by non-positive variance estimates and can cause issues in numerical optimisation procedures or convergence failures, which, in turn, can lead to misleading inferences, particularly regarding factor scores and model selection. We derive sufficient conditions on the model and a penalty to the log-likelihood…
含交互固定效应的高维离散选择模型及其因果推断应用
ABSTRACT We propose a two‐step procedure to estimate a high dimensional discrete choice panel with interactive fixed effects where the initial and final estimators are obtained via a nuclear‐norm regularized (NNR) maximum likelihood estimation and post‐NNR iterated estimation, respectively. We apply the method to make counterfactual predictions of choice probabilities. Simulations demonstrate nice finite sample performance in estimation and tests. An illustrative application…
因子增强框架下的二元响应预测
In this paper, we propose a novel factor-augmented forecasting regression model with a binary response variable. We develop a maximum likelihood estimation method for the regression parameters and establish the asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the proposed estimation method performs very well in finite samples. Finally, we demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed model through an application to U.S. recession…
