RRR {RRRR}

Reduced-Rank Regression using Gaussian MLE

Description

Gaussian Maximum Likelihood Estimation method for Reduced-Rank Regression. This method is not robust in the sense that it assumes a Gaussian distribution for the innovations which does not take into account the heavy-tailedness of the true distribution and outliers.

Usage

RRR(y, x, z = NULL, mu = TRUE, r = 1)

Arguments

y

Matrix of dimension N*P. The matrix for the response variables. See Detail.

x

Matrix of dimension N*Q. The matrix for the explanatory variables to be projected. See Detail.

z

Matrix of dimension N*R. The matrix for the explanatory variables not to be projected. See Detail.

mu

Logical. Indicating if a constant term is included.

r

Integer. The rank for the reduced-rank matrix AB'. See Detail.

Details

The formulation of the reduced-rank regression is as follow:

y = \mu +AB' x + D z+innov,

where for each realization y is a vector of dimension P for the P response variables, x is a vector of dimension Q for the Q explanatory variables that will be projected to reduce the rank, z is a vector of dimension R for the R explanatory variables that will not be projected, \mu is the constant vector of dimension P, innov is the innovation vector of dimension P, D is a coefficient matrix for z with dimension P*R, A is the so called exposure matrix with dimension P*r, and B is the so called factor matrix with dimension Q*r. The matrix resulted from AB' will be a reduced rank coefficient matrix with rank of r. The function estimates parameters \mu, A, B, D, and Sigma, the covariance matrix of the innovation's distribution, assuming the innovation has a Gaussian distribution.
