使用因子分析估计参数
- 研究问题
- 传统上描述变量或观测间关联的因子分析，能否用于线性及部分非线性函数的参数估计，并判断个体关系何时可以聚合？
- 方法与思路
- 作者将因子分析从相关关系扩展到函数关系，提出同时估计样本中个体参数和总体聚合参数的程序，并讨论聚合的判别规则。
- 材料陈述的贡献
- 摘要称该程序可估计各观测个体及聚合层面的参数，并为若干函数类型提供个体函数关系能否合法聚合的判别规则。
- 阅读关注点
- 核对从相关矩阵到函数参数的具体转换、个体参数所需的信息量，以及非线性函数范围和聚合判别规则的条件。
- 阅读边界
- 仅据 OpenAlex 索引摘要，稿件版本未注明；摘要未说明参数识别、估计误差与统计性质，不能据此声称优于其他拟合方法。
原文摘要
Factor analysis has been traditionally utilized for three broad purposes: First, as a data reduction technique which will hopefully simplify a multivariate situation to a smaller set of dimensions and enable the researcher to utilize data on a large number of variables; second, as an indexing device in which overtly manifested data are transformed to provide the latent or unobservable trait of a phenomenon; finally, as a cluster technique which helps the researcher to classify a variety of observations into a small set of clusters which are also generally ordered. All three approaches have used a common starting point, namely, a matrix of correlations either among the variables (R type factor analysis) or among the observations (Q type factor analysis). In other words, factor analysis has been limited to associative relations. The same technique can be used in functional relations, especially to estimate parameters of all linear and several nonlinear functions. It, therefore, essentially seems to serve the same function as curve fitting techniques but with two important distinctions. First, the procedure outlined here provides estimates of parameters for each observation (individual) in the sample as well as aggregate parameters. Second, it provides decision rules for various types of functions where aggregation of observations (individuals) assumed to have certain functional relations is or is not legitimate.
