An Entropy-Based Tool to Help the Interpretation of Common-Factor Spaces in Factor Analysis

This paper proposes a method for deriving interpretable common factors based on canonical correlation analysis applied to the vectors of common factors and manifest variables in the factor analysis model. First, an entropy-based method for measuring factor contributions is reviewed. Second, the entr...
