Regularized Estimation of the Loading Matrix in Factor Models for High-Dimensional Time Series
高维时间序列因子模型载荷矩阵的正则化估计
High-dimensional data analysis using traditional models suffers from overparameterization. Two types of techniques are commonly used to reduce the number of parameters - regularization and dimension reduction. In this project, we combine them by imposing a sparse factor structure and propose a regularized estimator to further reduce the number of parameters in factor models. A challenge limiting the widespread application of factor models is that factors are hard to…
