The likelihood ratio test is widely used in exploratory factor analysis to assess the model fit and determine the number of latent factors. Despite its popularity and clear statistical rationale, researchers have found that when the dimension of the response data is large compared to the sample size, the classical chi-square approximation of the likelihood ratio test statistic often fails. Theoretically, it has been an open problem when such a phenomenon happens as the dimension of data increases; practically, the effect of high dimensionality is less examined in exploratory factor analysis, and there lacks a clear statistical guideline on the validity of the conventional chi-square approximation. To address this problem, we investigate the failure of the chi-square approximation of the likelihood ratio test in high-dimensional exploratory factor analysis, and derive the necessary and sufficient condition to ensure the validity of the chi-square approximation. The results yield simple quantitative guidelines to check in practice and would also provide useful statistical insights into the practice of exploratory factor analysis.
Multivariate linear regressions are widely used statistical tools in many applications to model the associations between multiple related responses and a set of predictors. To infer such associations, it is often of interest to test the structure of
Logistic regression is used thousands of times a day to fit data, predict future outcomes, and assess the statistical significance of explanatory variables. When used for the purpose of statistical inference, logistic models produce p-values for the
This paper proposes a new statistic to test independence between two high dimensional random vectors ${mathbf{X}}:p_1times1$ and ${mathbf{Y}}:p_2times1$. The proposed statistic is based on the sum of regularized sample canonical correlation coefficie
This paper considers the maximum generalized empirical likelihood (GEL) estimation and inference on parameters identified by high dimensional moment restrictions with weakly dependent data when the dimensions of the moment restrictions and the parame
Marginal maximum likelihood (MML) estimation is the preferred approach to fitting item response theory models in psychometrics due to the MML estimators consistency, normality, and efficiency as the sample size tends to infinity. However, state-of-th
