Exploratory Factor Analysis with SAS

Summary

The goal of this book is to be a friendly, practical, applied overview of best practices in EFA, with applications to SAS. In the coming chapters, we will explore various aspects of EFA, and the best practices at each step. We will skip the matrix algebra and equations as much as possible. If you are seeking a more mathematical tome on the subject, there are many good ones already available.

Throughout the book, we describe and explain the SAS procedures for each analysis. We also review key syntax for our example analyses. The complete syntax for all of the analyses conducted throughout the book, the data sets that are used, and the solutions to exercises are available on the author’s page at http://support.sas.com/publishing/authors ...
