Factor Analysis - Harvard University

Factor Analysis Qian-Li Xue Biostatistics Program Harvard Catalyst | The Harvard Clinical & Translational Science Center Short course, October 27, 2016. 1. Well-used latent variable models Latent Observed variable scale variable scale Continuous Discrete Continuous Factor Discrete FA. Analysis IRT (item response). LISREL. Discrete Latent profile Latent class Growth mixture Analysis , regression General software: MPlus, Latent Gold, WinBugs (Bayesian), NLMIXED (SAS). Objectives What is Factor Analysis ? What do we need Factor Analysis for? What are the modeling assumptions? How to specify, fit, and interpret Factor models? What is the difference between exploratory and confirmatory Factor Analysis ?

Why Factor Analysis? 1. Testing of theory ! Explain covariation among multiple observed variables by ! Mapping variables to latent constructs (called “factors”) 2. Understanding the structure underlying a set of measures ! Gain insight to dimensions ! Construct validation (e.g., convergent validity) 3. Scale development
