Hi Statalist
just a query on -factor-.
I am trying to construct an index where I have five variables which are binary
indicators.
I have read somewhere that it is not appropriate to use factor analysis if the
variables are binary. Can anyone confirm, please?
Also, would -pca- be an alternative in this case?
As usual, any help would be appreciated.
Patricia
