On an unbiased predictor in factor analysis
因子分析中的无偏预测器
For a factor analysis model in which some or all of the independent variables are subject to errors of measurement, Lawley & Maxwell (1973) claim to have obtained an unbiased predictor of the dependent variable based on the independent variables. This predictor is shown to be biased and an alternative unbiased estimator with minimum mean squared error is derived.
