New analytical framework for factor analysis standard errors unveiled

This paper introduces a novel analytical framework for calculating standard errors in exploratory factor analysis. The method provides a unified approach for various extraction rules, offering a practical alternative to computationally intensive resampling techniques. The derived standard errors are accurate, straightforward to compute, and remain valid even under non-Gaussian conditions, with simulations confirming their effectiveness and an application demonstrating their impact on inference.

    Analytical Standard Errors for Exploratory Factor Solutions

    arXiv:1811.05336v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inference for factor models is often hampered by the lack of tractable and accurate variance estimates, which can materially distort downstream analyses. In practice, uncertainty in the residual covariance matrix is freque…
