Abstract
A program, written in Fortran II for a CDC 3200 computer with a 16K memory, is given for the factor analysis of data containing up to 36 variables. Principal components are extracted by the Jacobi method and up to 26 factors are rotated first to orthogonal simple structure using the Varimax criterion and then to oblique simple structure by the Promax method. Factor scores are computed by Harmon's (1960) method of ideal variables. A separate program computes scores from either orthogonal or oblique factor matrices by a method of Kaiser's (1962).Keywords
