Factor Analysis & Latent Measurement Models – Practice Quiz

Explore factor analysis as a latent measurement model for correlated observed indicators. Work through communalities, uniquenesses, covariance reconstruction, rotation, identifiability and score uncertainty using original survey and laboratory scenarios. Prerequisites: covariance, matrix multiplication and PCA. Includes conceptual, numerical and diagnostic single-select and multiselect questions; factors are interpreted as model-based summaries rather than established causes.
