conditions have the nice interpretation of restricting the level, slope and curvature of the correlation surface. It is proven … that the Schoenmakers-Coffey correlation matrix also brings along such factors. Finally, we formulate and corroborate our … conjecture that the order present in correlation matrices causes slope. …

The paper proposes a data driven adaptive model selection strategy. The selection crite- rion measures economic exante forecasting content by means of trading implied cash flows. Empirical evidence suggests that the proposed strategy is neither exposed to selection bias nor to the risk of...

High dimensional composite index makes experts' preferences in setting weights a hard task. In the literature, one of the approaches to derive weights from a data set is Principal Component or Factor Analysis that, although conceptually different, they are similar in results when FA is based on...

This paper compares alternative estimation procedures for multi-level factor models which imply blocks of zero restrictions on the associated matrix of factor loadings. We suggest a sequential least squares algorithm for minimizing the total sum of squared residuals and a two-step approach based...

We investigate the possibility of exploiting partial correlation graphs for identifying interpretable latent variables … underlying a multivariate time series. It is shown how the collapsibility and separation properties of partial correlation graphs …
