Purely analytic composites: Relative variance contributions of indicators corresponding to a priori indicator weights

Andre Beauducel, Ned Kock

Composites are often created to facilitate the work of decision-makers. Therefore, practical or theoretical considerations may lead to a priori weights of the indicators forming a…

How to improve the regression factor score predictor when individuals have different factor loadings

André Beauducel, Norbert Hilger, Anneke C. Weide

Previous research has shown that ignoring individual differences of factor loadings in conventional factor models may reduce the determinacy of factor score predictors. Therefore,…

How does the elimination of group mean-differences affect factor score determinacy?

André Beauducel, Norbert Hilger

The present study investigates to what degree the common variance of the factor score predictor with the original factor, i.e., the determinacy coefficient or the validity of the f…

Robust oblique Target-rotation for small samples

André Beauducel, Norbert Hilger

Introduction: Oblique Target-rotation in the context of exploratory factor analysis is a relevant method for the investigation of the oblique independent clusters model. It was arg…

Bias of determinacy coefficients in confirmatory factor analysis based on categorical variables

André Beauducel, Norbert Hilger, Anneke Weide

The relevance of determinacy coefficients as indicators for the validity of factor score predictors has regularly been emphasized. Previous simulation studies revealed biased deter…

The trade-off between factor score determinacy and the preservation of inter-factor correlations

André Beauducel, Norbert Hilger, Tobias Kuhl

Regression factor score predictors have the maximum factor score determinacy, i.e., the maximum correlation with the corresponding factor, but they do not have the same inter-corre…
