Factor Rotation and Standard Errors in Exploratory Factor Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we report a surprising phenomenon: Oblique CF-varimax and oblique CF-quartimax rotation produced similar point estimates for rotated factor loadings and factor correlations but different standard error estimates in an empirical example. Influences of factor rotation on asymptotic standard errors are investigated using a numerical exploration method. The results are (a) CF-varimax, CF-quartimax, CF-equamax, and CF-parsimax produced similar asymptotic standard errors when the factor loading matrix is an independent cluster solution and (b) the four rotation methods produced different asymptotic standard errors when the factor loading matrix has a more complex structure. In addition, properties of the CF family are explored with a full range of values.

Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) has been said to be the most frequently used multivariate analysis technique in statistics. Jennrich and Sampson (1966) solved a significant EFA factor loading matrix rotation problem by deriving the direct Quartimin rotation. Jennrich was also the first to develop standard errors for rotated solutions although these have still not made their way into most stat...

University of Tehran administers a test known as The University of Tehran English Proficiency Test (the UTEPT) to PhD candidates on a yearly basis. By definition, the test can be considered a high-stakes one. The validity of high stakes tests needs to be known (Roever, 2001). As Mesick (1988) maintains, if the validity of high stakes tests are not known, it might have some undesirable consequen...
