Abstract
Standard errors of maximum likelihood estimates of factor loadings are expressed in terms of the inverse of an augmented information matrix. This formulation arises naturally by viewing the problem as one in constrained maximum likelihood estimation. The constraints correspond to the forms of rotations used. Results are given for canonical rotation and analytic rotations in the orthomax family. (Author) (24pp.)
