Abstract

Use of the author's computer program is described. It uses the maximum likelihood method to estimate the factor matrix and the factor correlations matrix without the use of rotation methods. It also can be used to test the simple structure hypothesis. The program, consisting of one main program and sixteen subroutines, is written in FORTRAN IV, and has been compiled for the IBM 7094.
