Abstract
The association structure between manifest variables arising from the single-factor model is investigated using partial correlations. The additional insights to the practitioner provided by partial correlations for detecting a single-factor model are discussed. The parameter space for the partial correlations is presented, as are the patterns of signs in a matrix containing the partial correlations that are not compatible with a single-factor model. Key words: anti-image correlation matrix, elliptical tetrahedron, factor analysis, factor partial correlation, manifest partial correlation.

| Additional information: | The association structure between manifest variables arising from the single-factor model is investigated using partial correlations (a new perspective). The additional insights to the practitioner provided by partial correlations for detecting a single-factor model are discussed. The parameter space for the partial correlations is presented. Psychometrika is one of the world's top methodology journals, probably the top in Psychology. The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com |
