A Note on Sufficient Conditions That a Common Factor Will Be Determinate in an Infinite Domain of Variables.

Mulaik, Stanley A.

Psychometrika, v46 n1 p105-07 Mar 1981

It is proved for the common factor model that, under certain conditions maintaining the distinctiveness of each factor, a given factor will be determinate if there exists an unlimited number of variables in the model, each having an absolute correlation with the factor greater than some arbitrarily small quantity.
