Abstract:

We study multiple linear regression under the assumption that some of the covariates are unobserved. With multiple responses, these latent covariates can be estimated by applying principal components analysis to the matrix of regression residuals. A priori, it is not clear if this approach is valid. Using recent results from random matrix theory, we derive an asymptotically correct degrees of freedom estimate for this setting which allows adjusting for unobserved covariates in multiple linear regression models.
