We develop asymptotic theory for principal component analysis (PCA) of a high-dimensional factor model in which the working dimension $R$ is fixed and only required to satisfy $R \ge r$, where $r$ is the true number of factors. Building on…

In many scientific disciplines, the features of interest cannot be observed directly, so must instead be inferred from observed behaviour. Latent variable analyses are increasingly employed to systematise these inferences, and Principal…

Principal component regression (PCR) is a widely used two-stage procedure: principal component analysis (PCA), followed by regression in which the selected principal components are regarded as new explanatory variables in the model. Note…

It is known that the common factors in a large panel of data can be consistently estimated by the method of principal components, and principal components can be constructed by iterative least squares regressions. Replacing least squares…

What property of the data distribution determines the excess risk of principal component analysis? In this paper, we provide a precise answer to this question. We establish a central limit theorem for the error of the principal subspace…

Principal component regression results in lack of fit when important dimensions are omitted, which cannot be assessed from the eigenvalues. I show that the PC-regression estimator can also suffer from increased variance relative to ordinary…
