Abstract:This paper deals with the dynamic factor analysis problem for an ARMA process. To robustly estimate the number of factors, we construct a confidence region centered in a finite sample estimate of the underlying model which contains the true model with a prescribed probability. In this confidence region, the problem, formulated as a rank minimization of a suitable spectral density, is efficiently approximated via a trace norm convex relaxation. The latter is addressed by resorting to the Lagrange duality theory… Show more
