On best affine unbiased covariance-preserving prediction of factor scores.
This paper gives a generalization of results presented by ten Berge, Krijnen,Wansbeek & Shapiro. They examined procedures and results as proposed by Anderson & Rubin, McDonald, Green and Krijnen, Wansbeek & ten Berge.We shall consider the same matter, under weaker rank assumptions. We allow some moments, namely the variance Ω of the observable scores vector and that of the unique factors, Ψ, to be singular. We require T' Ψ T > 0, where T Λ T' is a Schur decomposition of Ω. As...
