This paper discusses the problem of estimating the population spectral distribution from high-dimensional data. We present a general estimation procedure that covers situations where the moments of this distribution fail to identify the model parameters. The main idea is to use generalized...

The paradigm of a factor model is very appealing and has been used extensively in economic analyses. Underlying the factor model is the idea that a large number of economic variables can be adequately modelled by a small number of indicator variables. Throughout this extensive research activity...

Datasets in a variety of disciplines require methods where both the sample size and the dataset dimensionality are allowed to be large. This framework is drastically different from the classical asymptotic framework where the number of observations is allowed to be large but the dimensionality...
