Composite Quantile Factor Model
复合分位数因子模型
This paper introduces the method of composite quantile factor model for factor analysis in high-dimensional panel data. We propose to estimate the factors and factor loadings across multiple quantiles of the data, allowing the estimates to better adapt to features of the data at different quantiles while still modeling the mean of the data. We develop the limiting distribution of the estimated factors and factor loadings, and an information criterion for consistent factor…
