type FactorExtractionMethod
| Member name | Value | Description |
---|
| PrincipalComponents | 0 |
Use the principal components as factors.
|
| IterativePrincipalAxis | 1 |
Use an iterative procedure that computes factors based on
an estimate for the communalities.
|
| UnweightedLeastSquares | 2 |
Find the factors that minimize the squared difference between
the original and the reconstructed correlation matrix.
|
| GeneralizedLeastSquares | 3 |
Find the factors that minimize the weighted squared difference between
the original and the reconstructed correlation matrix.
|
| MaximumLikelihood | 4 |
Find the factors that maximize the likelihood of producing the
correlation matrix.
|
| AlphaFactoring | 5 |
Maximize the alpha-reliability of the factors.
|
| ImageFactoring | 6 |
Use a method where the common part of a variable is defined as its linear regression with respect
to the other variables.
