Wirth, R. J.; Edwards, Michael C. – Psychological Methods, 2007
The rationale underlying factor analysis applies to continuous and categorical variables alike; however, the models and estimation methods for continuous (i.e., interval or ratio scale) data are not appropriate for item-level data that are categorical in nature. The authors provide a targeted review and synthesis of the item factor analysis (IFA)…

New, Boris; Brysbaert, Marc; Veronis, Jean; Pallier, Christophe – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2007
We examine the use of film subtitles as an approximation of word frequencies in human interactions. Because subtitle files are widely available on the Internet, they may present a fast and easy way to obtain word frequency measures in language registers other than text writing. We compiled a corpus of 52 million French words, coming from a variety…
