Abstract
Domain sampling principles permit formulation of a general method of multidimensional analysis. Cluster and factor analysis methods are special cases stemming from decisions made at different stages of the general method, especially in defining an independent dimension. Key cluster analyses define a dimension as a selection of s variables drawn from the full n set. Centroid, principal axes, and maximum likelihood analyses define it by the n variables (raw or residual, weighted or unweighted); bifactor and second-order analysis, by both types of selection; square root analysis, by one variable. Key cluster methods can be designed to test hypotheses.Keywords
