Peer reviewedKaplan, David – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1989
Model modification problems in covariance structure analysis are examined. The Modification Index, suggesting modifications based on a test statistic's largest drop in overall value, and the Expected Parameter Change, suggesting modifications based on the removal of large specification errors, are applied to two specifications of the Wisconsin…

Component Analysis versus Common Factor Analysis: Some Issues in Selecting an Appropriate Procedure.
Peer reviewedVelicer, Wayne F.; Jackson, Douglas N. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1990
Situations for which the researcher should use component analysis versus common factor analysis are discussed. Topics addressed include key algebraic similarities and differences, theoretical and practical issues, the factor indeterminacy issue, latent versus manifest variables, and differences between exploratory and confirmatory analysis…
