The Effect of Additional Variables on Factor Indeterminacy in Models with a Single Common Factor

Mulaik, Stanley A.; McDonald, Roderick P.

Psychometrika, 43, 2, 177-92, Jun 78

Solutions for the indeterminate common factor of a group of variables satisfying the single common factor model are not unique. This paper examines a number of thereoms concerning that problem and draws conclusions from them for factor analysis in general. (Author/JKS)
