Iterative Alternating Least Square Estimation for
Large-Dimensional Matrix Factor Model
Description
The matrix factor model has drawn growing attention for its advantage in achieving two-directional dimension reduction simultaneously for matrix-structured observations. In contrast to the Principal Component Analysis (PCA)-based methods, we propose a simple Iterative Alternating Least Squares (IALS) algorithm for matrix factor model, see the details in He et al. (2023) .
