A Monte Carlo Study of Using the First Eigenvalue for Averaging Intercorrelations.
Dunlap, William P.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v47 n4 p917-23 Win 1987
A procedure proposed by H. F. Kaiser (1968) for averaging coefficients using the first eigenvalue of an intercorrelation matrix was studied via Monte Carlo methods. The study also assessed a modification of the Kaiser procedure and the use of Fisher's "z." Applications to sample size effects are discussed. (TJH)
