Evolutionary Factor Analysis

This book introduces factor analysis methods for the study of multivariate stochastic processes whose structure evolves over time. It introduces the theory of factor analysis and evolutionary stochastic processes and combines that to study evolutionary factor models. The book includes many real examples to illustrate applications from such fields as macroeconomics, finance, neuroscience, communication, and psychology. MATLAB® and R code is included throughout the book for implementation of the methods.
