A Note on Lawley's Formulas for Standard Errors in Maximum Likelihood Factor Analysis.

Jennrich, Robert I.; Thayer, Dorothy T.

Evidence is given to indicate that Lawley's formulas for the standard errors of maximum likelihood loading estimates do not produce exact asymptotic results. A small modification is derived which appears to eliminate this difficulty. (Author)
