statsmodels.multivariate.factor.FactorResults.factor_score_params

FactorResults.factor_score_params(method='bartlett')

Compute factor scoring coefficient matrix

The coefficient matrix is not cached.

Parameters:

method{‘bartlett’, ‘regression’, ‘reg’, ‘ols’, ‘gls’}, optional

Method to use for factor scoring. ‘regression’ is the same as reg. ‘ols’ and ‘gls’ are unofficial, unverified methods, see Notes.

Returns:

coeff_matrixndarray

matrix s to compute factors f from a standardized endog ys. f = ys dot s

Notes

The regression method follows the Stata definition. Method bartlett and regression are verified against Stats. Two unofficial methods, ‘ols’ and ‘gls’, produce similar factor scores but are not verified.
