"Factor Analysis" is a genetic term for a somewhat vaguely
delimited set of techniques for data processing, mainly applicable
to the social and biological sciences. These techniques have been
developed for the analysis of mutual relationships among a number
of measurements made on a number of measurable entities. In the
broad sense, factor analysis comprises a number of statistical
models which yield testable hypotheses -- hypotheses that may
confirm or disconfirm in terms of the usual statistical procedures
for making tests of significance. It also comprises a number of
simplifying procedures for the approximate description of data,
which do not in any sense constitute disconfirmable hypotheses,
except in the loose sense that they supply approximations to the
data. In literature, the two types of analysis have often been
confused.
This book clarifies the concepts of factor analysis for students
or professionals in the social sciences who wish to know the
technique, rather than the mathematics, of factor theory.
Mathematical concepts are described to have an intuitive meaning
for the non-mathematical reader. An account of the elements of
matrix algebra, in the appendix, and the (mathematical) notes
following each chapter will help the reader who wishes to receive a
more advanced treatment of the subject. "Factor Analysis and
Related Methods" should prove a useful text for graduate and
advanced undergraduate students in economics, the behavioral
sciences, and education. Researchers and practitioners in those
fields will also find this book a handy reference.
