Compute factor scoring coefficient matrix

The coefficient matrix is not cached.

Parameters:
method‘bartlett’ or ‘regression’

Method to use for factor scoring. ‘regression’ can be abbreviated to reg

Returns:
coeff_matrixndarray

matrix s to compute factors f from a standardized endog ys. f = ys dot s
