Abstract
We face the factor analysis problem using a particular class of auto-regressive processes. We propose an approximate moment matching approach to estimate the number of factors as well as the parameters of the model. This algorithm alternates a step of factor analysis and a step of AR dynamics estimation. Some simulation studies show the effectiveness of the proposed estimator.
