Biography
Andrew L. Comrey, Howard B. Lee
"...balanced, comprehensive, and clear discussions of the available options for factor-analytic statistical models....an excellent supplement because of the discussions of different factor-analytic criteria and comparisons between various algorithms presented in the book."
—Technometrics"...it has considerable merit as an intermediate-level text....readers will find this to be a useful (albeit challenging) volume for increasing their knowledge of the mathematical basis of factor analysis. It contains the most readable treatment I have found of the matrix algebra involved in factor analysis....I know of no better source for developing an understanding of the computations involved in factor analysis."
—Contemporary Psychology"The discussions of rotational criteria, planning, design issues, factor interpretation (essential reading by anyone using factor analysis) and the writing up of results are excellent. The description and insights into how factor analysis was used in the development of the Comrey personality scales I found extremely useful and informative. The blend of both theory and practice adds tremendous value to the book."
—The Statistician
