“…The results show that the 5 risk related regions can be identified by φ j (s) for j = 1, 4, 5, 8 with our approach (75.81% of the variance can be explained by the first 8 factors, where the proportion of j = 1, 4, 5, 8 is 42.60%). In contrast, Chen et al (2015) consider the first 19 factors and find that j = 4, 18, 3(or 12), 5, 19 correspond to these 5 regions respectively. Our method seems to be more efficient in extracting the crucial features when dealing with high-dimensional data.…”
