where,

:<math> \mathbf{x}_n </math> is the <math>n</math>-th sample <math> L_x </math> (unknown) hidden factors.

Line 13:

:<math> \mathbf{B} </math> is the (unknown) regression coefficients of the design factors.

:<math> \mathbf{c} </math> is a [[vector (mathematics and physics)|vector]] of (unknown) [[constant term]] or intercept.

:<math> \mathbf{e}_n </math> is a vector of (unknown) errors, often [[white Gaussian noise]].

== The Relationship between Factorfactor Regressionregression Modelmodel, Factorfactor Modelmodel and Regressionregression Modelmodel ==

The factor regression model can be viewed as a combination of [[factor analysis]] model (<math> \mathbf{y}_n= \mathbf{A}\mathbf{x}_n+ \mathbf{c}+\mathbf{e}_n </math>) and [[regression model]] (<math> \mathbf{y}_n= \mathbf{B}\mathbf{z}_n +\mathbf{c}+\mathbf{e}_n </math>).

Alternatively, the model can be viewed as a special kind of factor model, the hybrid factor model <ref name="meng2011"/>

Line 38:

\mathbf{x}_n \\

\mathbf{z}_n\end{bmatrix} </math> are the factors, including the known factors and unknown factors.

== Software ==

[https://www2.stat.duke.edu/~mw/mwsoftware/BFRM/index.html Open source software to perform factor regression is available].

Factor regression software is available from here<ref>{{cite web|last=Wang|first=Quanli|title=BFRM|url=http://www.isds.duke.edu/research/software/west/bfrm/|work=BFRM}}</ref>.
