Lin, Johnny; Bentler, Peter M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2012
Goodness-of-fit testing in factor analysis is based on the assumption that the test statistic is asymptotically chi-square, but this property may not hold in small samples even when the factors and errors are normally distributed in the population. Robust methods such as Browne's (1984) asymptotically distribution-free method and Satorra Bentler's…

Lund, Thorleif – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1974
It is shown that the Stone-Coles method is not a content method, but rather an alternative to the ordinary distance methods. As such, it is argued, it is of limited value. (Author)

Stewart, Thomas R. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1974
Suggests a way of using factor analytic techniques to supplement multidimensional scaling in such a way as to provide a firm basis for evaluating multidimensional representations. (Author/RC)

Noma, Elliot; Smith, D. Randall – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1985
Correspondence analysis can provide spatial or clustering representations by assigning spatial coordinates minimizing the distance between individuals linked by a sociometric relationship. These scales may then be used to identify individuals' locations in a multidimensional representation of a group's structure or to reorder the rows and columns…
