In factor analysis, an orthogonal rotation of the factors is unidentifiable, while in linear regression, the direction of effect cannot be identified. For such linear models, non-Gaussianity of the (latent) variables has been shown to provide identifiability. In the case of factor analysis, this leads to independent component analysis, while in the case of the direction of effect, non-Gaussian versions of structural equation modeling solve the problem. More recently, we have shown how even general nonparametric nonlinear versions of such models can be estimated. Non-Gaussianity is not enough in this case, but assuming we have time series, or that the distributions are suitably modulated by observed auxiliary variables, the models are identifiable. This paper reviews the identifiability theory for the linear and nonlinear cases, considering both factor analytic and structural equation models.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55511,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics","volume":"76 1","pages":"1 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135774127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We are interested in the estimation of such a model, where the errors follow an autoregressive and moving average (ARMA) process, and the covariates can also be correlated. Instead of estimating the constituent parts of the model in a sequential fashion, we propose a spline-based method to estimate the mean function and the parameters of the ARMA process jointly. We establish the desirable asymptotic properties of the proposed approach under mild regularity conditions. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate that our proposed method performs well and generates strong evidence supporting the established theoretical results. Our method provides a new addition to the arsenal of tools for analyzing serially correlated data.
