Dear SR Mills,
thank you very much for your help. It is most appreciated. I am just
going over the mentioned article, it seems as i have some
collinearity. i dropped 2 variables which are indicated as collinear
by the belsley threshold, the factortest immideately went up from 4 to
7 factors and will prob. improve once i have corrected for all
possibly collinear variables.
however, do i include the dependent variable in the factor equation?
(e.g. factor dependent independent1 independent2 etc..)
and what do i get from knowing that the factor analysis gives me lets
say 9 factors?
once again, thanxs for your help
george
