Overview
Context
The world is full of unobservable variables that can't be directly measured. You might be interested in a construct such as math ability, personality traits, or workplace climate. When investigating constructs like these, it's critically important to have a model that matches your theories and data.
In this Factor Analysis in R course offered by Data Camp you’ll start by getting to grips with exploratory factor analysis (EFA), learning how to view and visualize factor loadings, interpret factor scores, and view and test correlations.
Learn to Use Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Once you’re familiar with single-factor EFA, you’ll move on to multidimensional data, looking at calculating eigenvalues, creating screen plots, and more. Next, you’ll discover confirmatory factor analysis (CFAs), learning how to create syntax from EFA results and theory.
The final chapter looks at EFAs vs CFAs, giving examples of both. You’ll also learn how to improve your model and measure when using them.
