Bi-factor analysis is a form of confirmatory factor analysis originally introduced by Holzinger. The bi-factor model has a general factor and a number of group factors. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an exploratory form of bi-factor analysis. An advantage of using exploratory bi-factor analysis is that one need not provide a specific bi-factor model a priori. The result of an explora...

This paper aims at proposing the joint use of Canonical Correlation Analysis and Procrustes Rotations (RCA), when we deal with a text and its translation into another language. The basic idea is representing words in the two different natural languages on a common reference space. The main characteristic of this space is to be language independent, although Procrustes Rotation is performed tran...

Multiscale personality inventories have rarely, if ever, demonstrated factor structure broadly consistent at the item level with scale keys. An item factor analysis of the 352 items of PRF-E was undertaken to evaluate the extent to which PRF items define separate and distinct factors corresponding to keyed scales. A matrix based on 352 items and 214 subjects drawn from 31 colleges was decompose...

IMRT QA requires, among other tests, a time-consuming process of measuring the absorbed dose, at least to a point, in a high-dose, low-dose-gradient region. Some clinics use a technique of measuring this dose with all beams delivered at a single gantry angle (collapsed delivery), as opposed to the beams delivered at the planned gantry angle (rotated delivery). We examined, established, and opti...
