meaning |
| Factor loadings before rotation * |
This represents the correlation coefficient between the principal components and the original data. |
| Rotation matrix * |
Indicates the rotation matrix when rotating the principal components. |
| Final communality estimates |
It shows the proportion of the original variables that can be explained by the rotated components (factors). |
| Standardized score coefficient * |
This is the coefficient used to calculate the score of the component (factor) after rotation. The coefficients are standardized to have a variance of 1. |
| Variance explained by each factor |
Displays the variance explained by each rotated factor, its contribution, and its cumulative contribution. |
| Rotated factor loadings |
Shows the correlation coefficient between the rotated components and the original data. |
*: It will be displayed when you check the option.
