Mathematically-oriented, this book provides a concise introduction to factor analysis. The first part presents the foundations of matrix algebra, linear combinations of variables, regression, and partial correlation. The second half covers both fundamental and cutting-edge topics, including doublets in factor analysis, oblique rotation, and confirmatory factor analysis. With plenty of figures and examples to illustrate the methods, exercises to enhance understanding of topics, and an appendix on SPSS, this reference is ideal for students and researchers in quantitative programs in psychology, educational measurement, organizational behavior and the health sciences.
