High-dimensional feature vectors are likely to contain sets of measurements that are approximate replicates of one another. In complex applications, or automated data collection, these feature sets are not known a priori, and need to be determined. This work proposes a class of latent factor models on the observed high-dimensional random vector $X \in \mathbb{R}^p$, for defining, identifying and estimating the index set of its approximately replicate components. The model class is parametrized…

This paper proposes a novel spectral approach to latent variable models with hidden binary units based on the eigenvectors of both the second order moment matrix and third order moment tensor of the observed data, and proves that under mild non-degeneracy conditions, the method consistently estimates the model parameters at the optimal parametric rate.
