Abstract
The difference in factor structure resulting from the factorization of correlations, covariances, and cross products is discussed. Factoring cross products has the advantage of retaining information on both means and variances; this method of factoring learning data is recommended. The conditions under which factoring covariances and cross products lead to the same essential structure are investigated.Keywords
