Approximating Confidence Intervals for Factor Loadings.

Lambert, Zarrel V.; And Others

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v26 n3 p421-34 1991

A method is presented that eliminates some interpretational limitations arising from assumptions implicit in the use of arbitrary rules of thumb to interpret exploratory factor analytic results. The bootstrap method is presented as a way of approximating sampling distributions of estimated factor loadings. Simulated datasets illustrate the approach. (SLD)
