Estimation and Inference for High Dimensional Factor Model with Regime Switching
This paper proposes maximum (quasi)likelihood estimation for high dimensional factor models with regime switching in the loadings. The model parameters are estimated jointly by the EM (expectation maximization) algorithm, which in the current context only requires iteratively calculating regime probabilities and principal components of the weighted sample covariance matrix. When regime dynamics are taken into account, smoothed regime probabilities are calculated using a recursive algorithm. Consistency, convergence rates and limit distributions of the estimated loadings and the estimated factors are established under weak cross-sectional and temporal dependence as well as heteroscedasticity. It is worth noting that due to high dimension, regime switching can be identified consistently after the switching point with only one observation. Simulation results show good performance of the proposed method. An application to the FRED-MD dataset illustrates the potential of the proposed method for detection of business cycle turning points.

Singularity-Based Consistent QML Estimation of Multiple Breakpoints in High-Dimensional Factor Models
This paper investigates the estimation of high-dimensional factor models in which factor loadings undergo an unknown number of structural changes over time. Given that a model with multiple changes in factor loadings can…
Inference for Change Points in High Dimensional Mean Shift Models
We consider the problem of constructing confidence intervals for the locations of change points in a high-dimensional mean shift model. To that end, we develop a locally refitted least squares estimator and obtain compon…

Performing statistical inference in high-dimension is an outstanding challenge. A major source of difficulty is the absence of precise information on the distribution of high-dimensional estimators. Here, we consider lin…
