Abstract:
Factor Analysis (like the similar technique of Principal Components Analysis) is a multivariate statistical method used primarily for data reduction. Itis usually employed to reduce the columns of our data matrix, that is the variables measured for each respondent. The reduction Is done by grouping together those variables which are intercorrelated as measured by the coefficient of correlation.
