FACTOR ANALYSIS
“When you CAN MEASURE what you are speaking about and
express it in numbers, you know something about it; but
when you CANNOT express it in numbers your knowledge is
of a mearge and unsatisfactory kind.”
Measurement is necessary.
LORD KELVIN, British Scientist
FIRST NOTABLE MENTION
Charles Edward Spearmen was known for his
seminal work on testing and measuring of HUMAN
INELLIGENCE by using the FACTOR ANALYSIS
during World War I.
CHARLES EDWARD SPEARMEN
(BRITISH PSYCHOLOGIST)
A factor is a linear combination of variables. It
is a construct that is not directly observed but
that needs to be inferred from the input
variables.
• Variable reduction technique
• Reduces a set of variable in terms of a small number of
latent factors(unobservable).
• Factor analysis is a correlational method used to find and
describe the underlying factors driving data values for a
large set of variables.
SIMPLE PATH DIAGRAM FOR A FACTOR ANALYSIS MODEL
•F1 and F2 are two common factors. Y1,Y2,Y3,Y4, and Y5 are observed
variables, possibly 5 subtests or measures of other observations such as
responses to items on a survey.
• e1,e2,e3,e4, and e5 represent residuals or unique factors, which are assumed
to be uncorrelated with each other.

Method of Factor Analysis
1. No outliers in the data set.
2. Normality of the data set.
3. Adequate sample size.
4. Multi collinearity and singularity among the
variables does not exist.
5. Homoscedasticity does not exist between the
variables because factor analysis is a linear function
of measured variables.
6. Variables should be linear in nature.
7. Data should be metric in nature i.e. on interval and
ratio scale.
KMO test is used
Bartlett test of sphericity
It test the null hypothesis that all the correlation between
the variables is Zero.
It also test whether the correlation matrix is a identity matrix
or not.
If it is an identity matrix then factor analysis becomes in
appropriate.
Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy
This test checks the adequacy of data for running the factor
analysis. The value of KMO ranges from 0 to 1. The larger the value
of KMO more adequate is the sample for running the factor
analysis. Kaiser recommends accepting values greater than 0.5 as
acceptable.

Method of Factor Analysis
•Analyses the pattern of correlations between variables in the
correlation matrix
•Which variables tend to correlate highly together?
•If variables are highly correlated, likely that they represent the
same underlying dimension
Factor analysis pinpoints the clusters of high correlations between
variables and for each cluster, it will assign a factor

Method of Factor Analysis
(A) Principal component analysis
•Provides a unique solution, so that the original data can be
reconstructed from the results
•It looks at the total variance among the variables that is the
unique as well as the common variance.
•In this method, the factor explaining the maximum variance is
extracted first.
Uses an estimate of common variance among the original
variables to generate factor solution.
Because of this, the number of factors will always be less than
the number of original variables
(B) Common factor analysis
Un weighted least squares, Generalized least squares, Maximum
likelihood, Principal axis factoring, Alpha factoring, and Image
factoring.
Other Method s Includes:-

itself
Variance due to
measurement
error or some
random,
unknown source
Variance that a
variable shares
with other
variables in a
matrix
When searching for the factors underlying the relationships between a
set of variables, we are interested in detecting and explaining the
common variance
Total Variance = common variance + specific
variance + error variance

EIGEN VALUE
•The Eigen value for a given factor measures the variance in all the
variables which is accounted for by that factor.
•It is the amount of variance explained by a factor. It is also called as
characteristic root.
Kaiser Guttmann Criterion
This method states that the number of factors to be extracted should
be equal to the number of factors having an Eigen value of 1 or greater
than 1.
The Scree Plot
 The examination of the Scree plot provides a visual of the
total variance associated with each factor.
 The steep slope shows the large factors.
 The gradual trailing off (scree) shows the rest of the factors
usually lower than an Eigen value of 1.

Factor Loading
• It can be defined as the correlation coefficient between the variable
and the factor.
• The squared factor loading of a variable indicates the percentage
variability explained by the factor in that variable. A factor loading of
0.7 is considered to be sufficient.
COMMUNALITY
•The communality is the amount of variance each variable in the
analysis shares with other variables.
•Squared multiple correlation for the variable as dependent using the
factors as predictors and is denoted by h2.
• The value of communality may be considered as the indicator of
reliability of a variable.

Since the value of KMO is more than 0.5 so the sample
taken in the study is adequate to run the factor analysis.
Since the value for significance in Bartlett test of
sphericity is less than 0.05 so the null hypothesis i.e. all
the correlation between the variables is 0 is rejected. So
the correlation matrix is not an identity matrix and that is
good.

Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis.
We are looking for
an Eigen value above
1.0
Cumulative percent of
variance explained.
These three factors will be extracted out as they have an eigen value
greater than 1.
Factor loadings of all the variables on each of the two factors have been
shown here. Since this is an unrotated factor solution, some of the
variables may show their contribution in more than one factor. In order
to avoid this situation, the factors are rotated by using the varimax
rotation technique.

Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis.
Rotation Method: Varimax with Kaiser Normalization.
a. Rotation converged in 4 iterations.
After varimax rotation factors will have non-overlapping variables. If the variable
has factor loadings more than 0.7, it indicates that the factor extracts sufficient
variance from that variable. Thus, all those variables having loadings more than 0.7
or more on a particular factor is identified in that factor.

  • 10. Bartlett test of sphericity It test the null hypothesis that all the correlation between the variables is Zero. It also test whether the correlation matrix is a identity matrix or not. If it is an identity matrix then factor analysis becomes in appropriate. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy This test checks the adequacy of data for running the factor analysis. The value of KMO ranges from 0 to 1. The larger the value of KMO more adequate is the sample for running the factor analysis. Kaiser recommends accepting values greater than 0.5 as acceptable.

Chi-Square 165.579 df 55 Sig. .000 Since the value of KMO is more than 0.5 so the sample taken in the study is adequate to run the factor analysis. Since the value for significance in Bartlett test of sphericity is less than 0.05 so the null hypothesis i.e. all the correlation between the variables is 0 is rejected. So the correlation matrix is not an identity matrix and that is good.

  • 44. Factor loadings of all the variables on each of the two factors have been shown here. Since this is an unrotated factor solution, some of the variables may show their contribution in more than one factor. In order to avoid this situation, the factors are rotated by using the varimax rotation technique.

Rotation Method: Varimax with Kaiser Normalization. a. Rotation converged in 4 iterations. After varimax rotation factors will have non-overlapping variables. If the variable has factor loadings more than 0.7, it indicates that the factor extracts sufficient variance from that variable. Thus, all those variables having loadings more than 0.7 or more on a particular factor is identified in that factor.
