The Foundations of Psychometry: Four Factor Systems
W. Robert Stephenson · Psychometrika · 1936
Four methods of factorizing the fundamental matrices used in factor analysis are described and illustrated. The first is represented by the techniques already developed. The second is the obverse factor technique. The third and fourth methods are variants of the first and second. The implications of each method for different schools of psychology are pointed out. The methods are complementary, not competitive.
