We face the factor analysis problem using a particular class of auto-regressive processes. We propose an approximate moment matching approach to estimate the number of factors as well as the parameters of the model. This algorithm alternates a step of factor analysis and a step of AR dynamics estimation. Some simulation studies show the effectiveness of the proposed estimator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
