aace-package: Covariance Estimation

Description Details Author(s)

Description

Covariance estimation using modified PCA, based on BurStFin

Recap of the factor model:

R n x 1 returns; a n x 1 intercept; B n x m loading; G n x m 'factor-mimicking portfolios'; f m x 1 factor score; S n x n covariance of R;

R = a + B.f + e (1)

E[f.f'] = I(m) orthonormal factors; E[e.e'] = psi specific risk (diagonal)

S = B.B' + psi (2)

f = R.G (3)

The function fms2 estimates B,G; returns a list which is informally of class ce.

The remaining functions are accessors.
