Peer reviewedBernaards, Coen A.; Sijtsma, Klaas – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2000
Using simulation, studied the influence of each of 12 imputation methods and 2 methods using the EM algorithm on the results of maximum likelihood factor analysis as compared with results from the complete data factor analysis (no missing scores). Discusses why EM methods recovered complete data factor loadings better than imputation methods. (SLD)
