Learning Confirmatory Patterns in Exploratory Factor Analysis Using ICOMP and Genetic Algorithm

The dissertation intends to develop a new approach to the identification of the best factor pattern structure. This new approach is a multivariate regression analysis where factor scores are regressed on original variables. The dissertation shows the versatility of information model selection criter...
