fitted.statfacmodBurSt {BurStFin}

Variance Matrix From Statistical Factor Model

Description

Takes a statistical factor model object and produces the variance matrix that it represents.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'statfacmodBurSt'
fitted(object, output = "full", ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class statfacmodBurSt.

output

a character string that must partially match one of: "full", "systematic", "specific".

...

not used, but allows methods for inheriting objects to have additional arguments.

Value

a numeric matrix of the variance represented by the factor model, or the systematic or specific variance portion of the model.

This has two additional attributes:

number.of.factors

the number of factors used in the model.

timestamp

the date and time at which the model was originally created.

Examples

## Not run: 
varfac <- factor.model.stat(retmat, zero=TRUE, output="factor")
# perhaps modify loadings and uniquenesses for missing values
varian2 <- fitted(varfac) # get variance matrix from factor model

specif <- fitted(varfac, output="specific") # diagonal matrix

## End(Not run)
