Introduction 2. Let’s start with the confirmatory factor analysis I mentioned in my last post. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) examines whether collected data correspond to a model of what the data are meant to measure. If the model includes variables that are dichotomous or ordinal a factor analysis can be performed using a polychoric correlation matrix. However, I want to analyze the goodness of fit indices for the factors (e.g., CFI, RMSEA, factor loadings significance...). With gsem's features, you can perform a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and allow for differences between men and women by typing If you are new to Stata and gsem, let us tell you that this is just one feature in a command that already has many features. For comparison purposes we will compute a CFA on the original continuous data. In EFA, all items load on all factors. I have covered enough about the traditional applications of factor analysis that you will be okay if you have had little or no prior exposure to factor analysis. characteristics with factor analytic methods such as exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the similarities between the two types of methods are superficial. factor analysis adds capabilities to move beyond the traditional approach—you may never want to rely on alpha and principal component factor analysis again for developing a scale. Stanislav Kolenikov Department of Statistics University of Missouri Columbia, MO kolenikovs@missouri.edu: Abstract. main structure using confirmatory factor analysis. Two of the domains comprise categorical ordinal items (e.g. endobj • Exploratory factor analysis: find (simple) covariance structure in the data; a standard multivariate technique — see [MV] factor • Confirmatory factor analysis: upon having formulated a theoretical model, see if it fits the data; estimate the parameters and assess goodness of fit. The Stata Journal (2009) 9, Number 3, pp. Confirmatory factor analysis is just a particular type of SEM. Stanislav Kolenikov, 2010. Let’s start with the confirmatory factor analysis I mentioned in my last post. Read more about Jeff here. SEM encompasses a broad array of models from linear regression to measurement models to simultaneous equations, including along the way confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlated uniqueness models, latent growth models, and multiple indicators and multiple causes (MIMIC).

Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is used to study the relationships between a set of observed variables and a set of continuous latent variables. This project is a short evaluation to evaluate Stata skills for potential future work based on a dataset that I will provide with fictional data. 12 0 obj As such, the objective of confirmatory factor analysis is to test whether the data fit a hypothesized measurement model. In statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is a special form of factor analysis, most commonly used in social research. The Stata Journal Volume 9 Number 3: pp. Two types of factor analysis. We will do an iterated principal axes (ipf option) with SMC as initial communalities retaining three factors (factor(3) option) followed by varimax and promax rotations. The rotated factor solution gives us a rather clean two factor model. Latent constructs, such as liberalism or conservatism, are theoretical and cannot be measured directly. When the observed variables are categorical, CFA is also referred to as item response theory (IRT) analysis (Fox, 2010; van der Linden, 2016). You want to do this first to verify the measurement quality of any and all latent constructs you’re using in your structural equation model. • Introduction to Factor Analysis.

I created some factors based on the principal component analysis PCA results (command "pca"), on the exploratory factor analysis EFA results (command "factor"), and on the literature review. The Stata software, version 15, was used to analyse the data. on tetrachoric correlations that reflect the associations among these underlying continuous We will demonstrate this by using data with five continuous variables and Indications for further development into multifactor models and, eventually, structural equation models, will be given. a 1nY n I am struggling to conduct a higher-order confirmatory factor analysis with ordinal categorical and binary variables (i.e. 9 0 obj Factor analysis: step 1 Variables Principal-components factoring Total variance accounted by each factor. Generally errors (or uniquenesses) across variables are uncorrelated. The term “regression” is an umbrella for numerous statistical methods. Then, we tested a four‐factor model, based on the reviews of previous studies (Hauge, 2015; Hughes et al., 2016), in a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) framework. Now that we have the binary variables, let’s checkout the correlations among the continuous In Introduction to structural equation modelling using SPSS and AMOS (pp. Analyses were performed with Stata 9 and factor analysis with Mplus 4.1 [15]. Newsom, Spring 2017, Psy 495 Psychological Measurement 33. Next, we will create the SSD dataset and compute the CFA on the tetrachoric correlations. – SAS, SPSS, Stata, AMOS, LISREL, and Mplus all can conduct EFA. STATA will be introduced as a powerful tool to conduct confirmatory factor analysis. • Factor Analysis. << /S /GoTo /D (Outline0.4) >> The &&£}H'°*"& We proposed a model using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to support dimensionality and interpretation of the factors. Abstract In confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the use of maximum likelihood (ML) assumes that the observed indica-tors follow a continuous and multivariate normal distribution, which is not appropriate for ordinal observed variables. (Factor analysis) EFA, in contrast, does not specify a measurement model initially and usually seeks to discover the measurement model. and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Once your measurement model turns out statistically significant, you may calculate factor score of the latent In the EFA we explore the factor structure (how the variables relate and group based on inter-variable correlations); in the CFA we confirm the factor structure we extracted in the EFA. Suppose we want to estimate this model: CFA. endobj The method of choice for such testing is often confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The data analyst brings to the enterprise a substantial amount of intellectual baggage that affects the selection of variables, choice of a number of factors, the naming of • Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) – EFA examines (1) how many factors a measure estimates and (2) what these factors are. Institute for Digital Research and Education. Use Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to help decide ! ! Coefficients are fixed to a number to minimize the number of parameters estimated in %PDF-1.4 You don’t Stata's generalized structural equations model (SEM) command makes it easy to fit models on data comprising groups. In addition, a five factor confirmatory factor analytic solution fit the data better than a four, three, or one factor solution. Department of Statistics Consulting Center, Department of Biomathematics Consulting Clinic. I will present a set of routines to conduct a one-factor confirmatory factor analysis in Stata. among the continuous version. The analyses included questionnaires in which at least 50% (12 ) of the items had been answered. EFA does not impose any constraints on the model, while CFA places substantive constraints. My model is composed of four latent domains (first order) and one overarching latent domain (second order). Confirmatory factor analysis borrows many of the same concepts from exploratory factor analysis except that instead of letting the data tell us the factor structure, we pre-determine the factor structure and perform a hypothesis test to see if this is true. A brief introduction will be given to confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. The Stata software, version 15, was used to analyse the data. The use of Mata in programming will be highlighted. It is used to test whether measures of a construct are consistent with a researcher's understanding of the nature of that construct (or factor). endobj Brown PsyD With its emphasis on practical and conceptual aspects, rather than mathematics or formulas, this accessible book has established itself as the go-to resource on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). I selected two eigenvalues as these fell above the threshold of 1 as set out in the Kaiser rule. Let’s say that you have a dataset with a bunch of binary variables. We will discuss SEM for continuous, categorical, ordinal, count, and other outcomes.

(See the 1st image with the factor analysis "Factor Analysis_STATA"). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is the next step after exploratory factor analysis to determine the factor structure of your dataset. Standard methods of performing factor analysis ( i.e., those based on a matrix of Pearson’s correlations) assume that the variables are continuous and follow a multivariate normal distribution. endobj Indications for further development into multifactor models and, eventually, structural equation models, will be given. Chapter 9: Confirmatory Factor Analysis Prerequisites: Chapter 5, Sections 3.9, 3.10, 4.3 9.1 The Confirmatory Factor Analysis Model The difference between the models discussed in this section, and the regression model introduced in Chapter 5 is in the nature of the independent variables, and the fact that we have multiple dependent variables. London, UK: SAGE. The GFI indicated a fit of .81, the TLI indicated a fit of .87, and the CFI indicated a fit of .89. Once you get past the standard stuff that tells you that your model terminated successfully, the number of variables and factors, you see this: Chi-Square Test of Model Fit.
