Adjustments for Kurtosis in Factor Analysis with Elliptically Distributed Errors
椭圆分布误差下因子分析的峰度调整
SUMMARY Simple corrections to normal theory tests of fit of the factor analysis model are provided for the situation where common factors have arbitrary distributions and errors have a distribution from the elliptical class. It is shown that normal theory estimators are asymptotically efficient in this situation and appropriate modifications for the asymptotic covariance matrix of estimators are provided. Factor analysis models with structured error covariance matrices are…
