Description: "This volume presents the important concepts required for implementing two disciplines of factor analysis - exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) - with an emphasis on EFA-CFA linkages. Modern extensions of older data analysis methods (e.g. analysis of variance, regression, multivariate analysis of variance, and descriptive discriminant analysis) have brought theory-testing procedures to the analytic forefornt. Variations of factor analysis, such as the factoring of people or time, have great potential to inform psychological research." "Instructors or students who seek a clear and concise test about factor analysis will find this book to be an invaluable resource."--BOOK JACKET.
