visualizing exploratory factor analysis models [PDF]

open access: possibleResearch Papers in Economics, 2008
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is an important tool in data analyses, particularly in social science. Usually four steps are carried out which contain a large number of options. One important option is the number of factors and the association of variables with a factor. Our tools aim to visualize various models with different numbers in parallel of

2011
In many areas of psychology, and other disciplines in the behavioural sciences, often it is not possible to measure directly the concepts of primary interest. Two obvious examples are intelligence and social class. In such cases, the researcher is forced to examine the concepts indirectly by collecting information on variables that can be measured or ...

Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis

2018
This chapter consists of data-driven examples of how factor analysis as a statistical tool can be applied in music education research. The chapter presents examples of how factor analysis methods can be used to identify latent variables, which in turn can be used to represent a broad set of measured variables.

Principal component analysis and exploratory factor analysis

Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 1992
In this paper we compare and contrast the objectives of principal component analysis and exploratory factor analysis. This is done through consideration of nine examples. Basic theory is presented in appendices. As well as covering the standard material, we also describe a number of recent developments.
