Chapter 14 Factor analysis 14.1 INTRODUCTION Factor analysis is a method for investigating whether a number of variables of interest Y1 , Y2 , : : :, Yl, are linearly related to a smaller number of unobservable factors F1, F2, : : :, Fk . The fact that the factors are not observable disquali¯es regression and other methods previously examined. We shall see, however, that under certain conditions the hypothesized factor model has certain implications, and these implications in turn can be

Fundamentals of Research Paper In this paper I will discuss scientific method and its relation to the human service field. I will explain the steps in the scientific method and the process of scientific inquiry, as well as define quantitative research and qualitative research. I will explain how they differ and relate each to the human services field and the scientific method. The scientific method is a method for research and study that is applied to investigate, observations and to
