Exploratory factor analysis
Hello,
I conducted an explanatory factor analysis in JASP. There is the table with the factor characteristics, for the unrotated solution and the rotated soluation. The question is: In the first collumn there are also listed the Eigenvalues for each factor. Aditionally, there are the summed Square loadings for the unroated solution. Shouldn't this be the same? Where is the difference? As the numbers are different, there has to be a difference.
Thank you
Carmen

I'll ask the experts

Thank you, are there any news or results?
Hi Carmen, you are correct, that there is a mismatch and we have already had a spirited discussion about this https://github.com/jasp-stats/jasp-issues/issues/2418. So far these are the eigenvalues of the correlation matrix, but in the table that is misleading, and we are planning to change it.
