Some Results on Proper Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors with Applications to Scaling.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McDonald, Roderick P.; And Others – Psychometrika, 1979
Problems in avoiding the singularity problem in analyzing matrices for optimal scaling are addressed. Conditions are given under which the stationary points and values of a ratio of quadratic forms in two singular matrices can be obtained by a series of simple matrix operations. (Author/JKS)

A Note on the Factor Analysis of Partial Covariance Matrices
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McDonald, Roderick P. – Psychometrika, 1978
The relationship between the factor structure of a convariance matrix and the factor structure of a partial convariance matrix when one or more variables are partialled out of the original matrix is given in this brief note. (JKS)
