Replication of Factors in Variations on a Synthetic Correlation Matrix.
Walkey, Frank H.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v46 n3 p593-604 Aut 1986
A factor replication procedure (FACTOREP) was evaluated using four psychometrically equivalent synthetic correlation matrices containing an imposed three-subscale structure. Comparisons of the structure revealed by two, three, four, and nine-factor rotations using the FACTOREP showed that only the three factor solutions were replicable across all four matrices.
