One of the interventions aiming to preserve functionis splinting of the affected wrist joint. The rationale for the use of splinting …

Anderson and Rubin and McDonald have proposed a correlation-preserving method of factor scores prediction which minimizes the trace of a residual covariance matrix for variables. Green has proposed a correlation-preserving method which minimizes the trace of a residual covariance matrix for factors. …
