The Effects of Underextraction in Factor and Component Analyses.
Fava, Joseph L.; Velicer, Wayne F.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v56 n6 p907-29 Dec 1996
The consequences of underextracting factors and components within and between the methods of maximum likelihood factor analysis and principal components analysis were examined through computer simulation. The principal components score and the factor score estimate (T. W. Anderson and H. Rubin, 1956) tended to become different with underextraction. (SLD)
