Summary This paper considers factor estimation from heterogeneous data, where some of the variables—the relevant ones—are informative for estimating the factors, and others—the irrelevant ones—are not. We estimate the factor model within a Bayesian framework, specifying a sparse prior distribution for the factor loadings. Based on identified posterior factor loading estimates, we provide alternative methods to identify relevant and irrelevant variables. Simulations show that both types of variables are identified quite accurately. Empirical estimates for a large multi‐country GDP dataset and a disaggregated inflation dataset for the USA show that a considerable share of variables is irrelevant for factor estimation.
大规模贝叶斯 VAR 的条件投影方法
We develop fast methods for conditional forecasting and structural scenario analysis with high-dimensional Bayesian vector autoregressions (VARs). Our general framework features a factor structure on the reduced-form errors, which enables fast and order-invariant equation-by-equation estimation; suitably identified factors admit a structural interpretation. The scenarios are defined through separate distributional restrictions on observables, structural shocks and…
高维矩阵时间序列的马尔可夫转换动态矩阵因子模型
In this study, we propose a novel model called the Markov-switching dynamic matrix factor (Ms-DMF) model, which serves the dual purpose of structural interpretation and prediction for high-dimensional matrix time series. When estimating the parameters of the Ms-DMF model, an EM (expectation maximization) algorithm was used to get a quasi-maximum likelihood estimation, where all the parameters are estimated jointly. A filtering and smoothing algorithm is used to compute the…
经济增长建模的贝叶斯方法:变量选择与截面依赖
This paper introduces a Bayesian framework designed to address two critical econometric challenges in empirical growth studies: variable selection and cross-sectional dependence. We first propose a growth regression model that incorporates cross-sectional dependence through a multi-factor structure and accounts for variable selection with sparse coefficients. We then introduce a new Bayesian Adaptive LASSO estimator specifically designed for this model, capable of performing…
贝叶斯动态矩阵因子模型
The growth in data volume and the expansion in data dimensionality are challenging the analysis of high-dimensional matrix time series. Factor models for matrix-valued high-dimensional time series are a powerful tool for reducing the dimensionality of the variables with low-rank structures. However, existing high-dimensional matrix factor models are nearly all static and struggle to capture the dynamics and time evolution of data. In this article, a dynamic matrix factor…
因子数量未知时的稀疏贝叶斯因子分析
There has been increased research interest in the subfield of sparse Bayesian factor analysis with shrinkage priors, which achieve additional sparsity beyond the natural parsimonity of factor models. In this spirit, we estimate the number of common factors in the highly implemented sparse latent factor model with spike-and-slab priors on the factor loadings matrix. Our framework leads to a natural, efficient and simultaneous coupling of model estimation and selection on one…
利用变分推断选择载荷的稀疏动态因子模型
In this paper we develop a novel approach for estimating large and sparse dynamic factor models using variational inference, also allowing for missing data. Inspired by Bayesian variable selection, we apply slab-and-spike priors onto the factor loadings to deal with sparsity. An algorithm is developed to find locally optimal mean field approximations of posterior distributions, which can be obtained computationally fast, making it suitable for nowcasting and frequently…
