Description:We examine some high dimensional data including morality data which are nonstationary and temporary correlated . The aim is to understand how time dependence and temporary correlation affect PCA. To this end we investigate the largest sample eigenvalues of separable covariance matrices. A new statistic is proposed to distinguish nonstationary factor models from unit root models.
