+The default \code{summary} method for a fitted \code{lm} object
+computes the standard errors and t-statistics under the assumption of
+homoskedasticty. Argument \code{se.type} gives the option to compute
+heteroskedasticity-consistent (HC) or
+heteroskedasticity-autocorrelation-consistent (HAC) standard errors and
+t-statistics using \code{\link[lmtest]{coeftest}}. This option is meaningful
+only if \code{fit.method = "OLS" or "DLS"}.
+
+Standard errors are currently not available for
+\code{variable.selection="lars"} as there seems to be no consensus on a
+statistically valid method of calculating standard errors for the lasso
+predictions.

 \section{Fit a statistical factor model}
 
-In statistical factor models, factor realizations are not directly observable (unlike times series factor models) and the factor loadings are not known (unlike fundamental factor models). Both factors and betas must be extracted from the returns data using statistical methods such as factor analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). PCA uses the eigen decomposition of the covariance (or correlation) matrix of asset returns to find the first \code{K} principal components that explain the largest portion of the sample covariance matrix of returns. Factor loadings are then estimated using time series regression. Factor analysis involves maximum likelihood optimization to estimate the factor loadings and the residual covariance matrix, constructing the factor realizations and choosing a rotation of the coordinate system for a more meaningful interpretation of the factors.

-In \code{fitSfm}, PCA is applied to extract the factor realizations when the number of time series observations, $T$, is greater than the number of assets, $N$. When $N > T$, the sample covariance matrix for asset returns is singular and Aymptotic principal Component Analysis (APCA) as in \citet{connor1988risk} is performed.

 \subsection{Individual plots}
 
-Setting \code{plot.single=TRUE} enables individual asset plots. If there is more than one asset fit by the fit object, \code{asset.name} is also necessary. However, if the \code{fitSfm} object \code{x} only contains one asset's factor model fit, \code{plot.sfm} can infer this automatically, without user input.
