Abstract
A method of generating any number of score and correlation matrices with arbitrary population parameters is described. Either Z scores or stanines are sampled from a normal population to represent factor scores by an IBM 1620 program. These are converted to variates from a population with an a priori factor structure. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated from research data. Some further modifications and uses of the method are discussed.Keywords
