Researchers have developed a new method called EigenBayes for analyzing high-dimensional data, aiming to improve the efficiency of factor models. This approach addresses the challenge of selecting the latent dimension $k$ in factor models, particularly in scenarios with approximate factor models and low signal-to-noise ratios. EigenBayes utilizes spectral estimation and empirical Bayes calibration to provide valid uncertainty quantification, offering a computationally faster alternative to existing methods. AI
