Exploratory
Factor Analysis
Psychology 236
Fall 1999
Brief
Course Description
This course provides an in-depth
treatment of a class of factor analytic models and
procedures. We cover both traditional exploratory
factor analytic methods, as well as the fundamentals
of structural equation modeling. In addition, we
focus on related models (e.g., principal components)
and special cases of the factor analytic model (e.g.,
for analysis of dichotomous, ordered categorical, and
other types of data, for "multimode" data).
In all cases, both theory and practical applications
in psychology and allied disciplines are emphasized.
