Emphasizing the usefulness of the techniques, it presents sufficient mathematical background for understanding and applying its use. This includes the theory as well as the empirical evaluations. The overall goal is to show readers how to use factor analysis in their substantive research by highlighting when the differences in mathematical procedures have a major impact on the substantive conclusions, when the differences are not relevant, and when factor analysis might not be the best procedure to use. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough the original version was written years ago, the book maintains its relevance today by providing readers with a thorough understanding of the basic mathematical models so they can easily apply these models to their own research. Readers are presented with a very complete picture of the \"inner workings\" of these methods. The new\u003ci\u003e Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the remarkably few changes that the author would make if he were writing the book today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn ideal text for courses on factor analysis or as a supplement for multivariate analysis, structural equation modeling, or advanced quantitative techniques taught in psychology, education, and other social and behavioral sciences, researchers who use these techniques also appreciate this book's thorough review of the basic models. Prerequisites include a graduate level course on statistics and a basic understanding of algebra.
