On Chance and Factor Congruence Following Orthogonal Procrustes Rotation.
Paunonen, Sampo V.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v57 n1 p33-59 Feb 1997
A Monte Carlo simulation evaluated conditions that contribute to excessively high coefficients of congruence when fitting one factor pattern matrix into the space of a targeted pattern. Results support the conclusion that orthogonal Procrustes methods of factor rotation do produce spurious coefficients between predictor and criterion factor pattern values. (SLD)
