Abstract
This note suggests that the reflection of residuals in the centroid method of factor analysis should be continued, whenever possible, after all the sums of the columns in the correlation matrix, excluding diagonal values, are positive. A criterion is given for determining whether further reflection is possible in such cases.Keywords
