A New Algorithm for the Least-Squares Solution in Factor Analysis.

Okamoto, Masashi; Ihara, Masamori

Psychometrika, v48 n4 p597-605 Dec 1983

A new algorithm to obtain the least squares solution in common factor analysis is presented. It is based on the up-and-down Marquadt algorithm developed by the present authors. Experiments in the use of the algorithm under various conditions are discussed. (Author/JKS)
