Ch02 Factor Analysis;Stage 1: Objectives of FA;Stage 2: Designing a FA;2. The design of the study in terms of number of variables, measurement properties of variables, and the types of allowable variables Metric measurement In some cases, dummy variables can be used Boolean FA The strength of FA lies in finding patterns among groups of variables, and it is of little use in identifying factors composed of only a single variable.;3. The sample size necessary, both in absolute terms and as a function of the number of variables in the analysis Do not factor analyze a sample of fewer than 50 observ
