High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In multivariate statistics, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is a statistical method used to uncover the underlying structure of a relatively large set of variables. EFA is a technique within factor analysis whose overarching goal is to identify the underlying relationships between measured variables. It is commonly used by researchers when developing a scale (a scale is a collection of questions used to measure a particular research topic) and serves to identify a set of latent constructs underlying a battery of measured variables. It should be used when the researcher has no a priori hypothesis about factors or patterns of measured variables.Measured variables are any one of several attributes of people that may be observed and measured. An example of a measured variable would be one item on a scale. Researchers must carefully consider the number of measured variables to include in the analysis. EFA procedures are more accurate when each...
