Speech is a brain function that includes virtual, mobile and sensory part for the understanding production of spoken written language. The aim this study was to present adaptation diagnostic tool Examining aphasia – 4th edition (EFA -4) in Greek In dementia especially Alzheimer’s disease (AD), speech language disorders are main features, along with worsening impairment memory. EFA-4 standardize...

We used elliptical Fourier analysis (EFA) to examine potential differences in the complexity and variability of gait of children with (N=10) and without (N=10) Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Children with DCD generated movement patters with larger variability and complexity than typically developing (TD) children. In addition, children with DCD exhibited greater asymmetry in their m...

This article reviews methodological issues that arise in the application of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to scale revision and refinement. The authors begin by discussing how the appropriate use of EFA in scale revision is influenced by both the hierarchical nature of psychological constructs and the motivations underlying the revision. Then they specifically address (a) important issues t...

The objective of the article is the comparative analysis of Likert rating scale based on the following range of response categories, i.e. 5, 7, 9 and 11 in context of the appropriate process of factors extraction in exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The problem addressed in the article is related primarily to the methodological aspects, both in selection of the optimal number of response categ...

The essentiality of the unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic, was described by Burr and Burr in a series of papers from the late 1920’s to the early 1930’s (Burr et al., 1932). They are incorporated into membranes as such, and are precursors for other unsaturated fatty acids that are key for metabolic regulation and cell membrane function and are essential to life for all mammals. Pr...

Exploratory factor analysis is a complex and multivariate statistical technique commonly employed in information system, social science, education and psychology. This paper intends to provide a simplified collection of information for researchers and practitioners undertaking exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and to make decisions about best practice in EFA. Particularly, the objective of the ...

This paper concerns the problem of the effect of emotion change on human and machine for speaker identification. A contrasting experiment is carried out between Automatic Speaker Identification (ASI) system (applying GMM-UBM and Emotional Factor Analysis (EFA) algorithm)and aural system on emotional speech corpus MASC. The experimental result is similar to that in channel-mismatched condition, ...

This electronic document provides some supportive material to the paper entitled “A BDD-Based Approach for Designing Maximally Permissive Deadlock Avoidance Policies for Complex Resource Allocation Systems” that has been submitted to IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering (T-ASE). I. MODELING A GIVEN RAS INSTANCE Φ BY THE CORRESPONDING EFA E(Φ) This section provides a formal st...

The present study aimed to construct a Psychic Energy Scale by computing Exploratory Factor Analysis to validate the Psychic Energy Scale, before administering the EFA, the data was analysed for its sampling adequacy. The factor analysis was employed separately on each sub scale. Initially, seven items measure was administered to 120 Indian artistic gymnasts from different Gymnastics Centre of ...

To date no study has been made to explore the FDI motives of foreign firms in Pakistan. An attempt has been made to rectify this position through a survey of both whollyand majority-owned multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the economy. Market size and growth variables appear to be the most cited reasons for FDI by MNEs in the sample. The use of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) also reinforces...
