1 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 1 SVD and LS M.A. Miceli University of Rome I Stats in the Château Jouy-en-Josas August 31 - September 4 2009

2 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 2 Motivations Problems of high dimensionality in estimation: –Rank < actual dimension of the data sets  inverse problems –Threholds in accepting variables eases on every dimension, as the number of variables/dimensions increases (ex. Wald test). How the SVD helps in extracting robust correlations between dependent and independent variables: automatic choice of “model”. Why Some evidence in predicting US CPIs indexes Some issues about normalizations

3 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 3 Motivations Given a simultaneous linear system of equations 1.Collapsing dimensionality of the system to its min rank = min [rank(Y), rank (X)], 2.Advantages of SVD w.r.t. Principal Components: PC requires a sqare matrix, e.g. autocorrelation matrix, and ranks the dimensions within that single matrix; SVD ranks the correlations between X and Y dimensions 3.Discretionary possibility of getting rid of some - believed negligible – dimensions: we are interested in getting rid of those dimensions that can be generated by a totally random system of same dimensions (Marchenko-Pastur conditions adapted to a rectangular matrix).

4 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 4 Definition of SVD of a matrix product SVD definition Having two matrices one can write and therefore If T << max(M,N)? No problems

5 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 5 Diagonalizing the LS estimator Consider regressing every column y over the set of explanatory variables X: we write We diagonalize both matrices: (X’X) and (X’Y): –X’X –X’Y rectangular –NB. The SVD of a square matrix IS the same as the diagonalisation. We will write

10 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 10 Adding diagonalisation of both X and Y matrices

12 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 12 RMT 1.Marcenko-Pastur conditions compute singular values density and interval limits for square matrices. Bouchaud, Miceli et al (2005) derive them for rectangular matrices. 2.We run exactly the same experiment with purely random generated matrices for “many times”: limits and densities reply the theory

13 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 13 Marcenko-Pastur limits and density

14 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 14 RMT 1.Density and limits do change if we use raw or already diagonalized data. 2.Is this “double diagonalization” worthwhile? singular values are HD0 in standardization, eigenvectors are NOT.

15 M. A. Miceli “SVD and LS” - Stats in the Château - August 31 - September 4 2009 15 Diagonalized “LS estimator” We may approach the same problem in different ways 1.raw data 2.normalized factors 3.non normalized factors “unfortunately” 3. works best. Why? … Is it because factor normalization changes the ranking of the SVD singular values and this affect eventually the factor selection? NO! Answer at the end …. Very disturbing
