Factor Analysis - SPSS (part 1)

I demonstrate how to perform and interpret a factor analysis in SPSS. I discuss how to enter the data, select the various options, interpret the output (e.g., communalities, eigenvalues, factor loadings). I also discuss the difference between orthogonal and oblique rotation within SPSS.

It's not available yet. I haven't figured out an easy way to upload data to the companion website. It's on my mind though.

In your other u specified 1000 as number of data sets and in this video, you specified 5000 as the number of parallel data sets.. Coul;d u explain why please?

@usmanisah

Do you mean the PCA video? It doesn't really matter whether you use 1000 or 5000. In the olden days, you had to consider how fast your computer was, but these days one should probably always use 5000.

Where can i find this data set?

[how2stats]

The solution to your problem is relatively complicated and would require the use of a structural equation modeling program (e.g., AMOS). I believe a "latent time series analysis" would do what you desire. I might make a video on that analysis one day, but probably not any time soon.

i have a question, if I need to find how many macro-economic variables affects a share price, do I have to make the macro economic data stationary before running the factor analysis or can I use the raw data. Macro-economic can be unemployment rate, interest rate etc. Can you make a video on it...Thanks..
