A Monte Carlo Study of Constrained Factor Analysis Using Maximum Likelihood and Unweighted Least Squares.
Wolins, Leroy
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v55 n4 p545-57 Aug 1995
From 105 samples of 300 observations each and 87 samples with 3,000 observations each, constrained factor analyses of 96 normally distributed variables in a three-stage hierarchical structure were computed by maximum likelihood and unweighted least squares (ULS). ULS took less time and computer resources and led to better estimates. (SLD)
