Factor Analysis

The first step in factor analysis is for the computer to select the combination of variables whose shared correlations explain the greatest amount of total variance. This is called factor 1. Factor analysis will then extract a second factor. This is the combination of variables that explains the greatest amount of variance that remains, that is, variation after the first factor has been extracted. This is factor 2.

Supervisory meet

discussed meeting with Jim

need to analyse data - SPSS

need to pilot more
using data from SPSS

and then contact JIM re confidentiality agreement

and look into piloting with different questionnaires, by switching the link.

discussion of experience economy - hg not too impressed - but I think he thought we were looking at RT - even i find it difficult to get RT into exp economy.

next step get analysed - get into snap - sort out confidentiality - get links to snap- sps sorted.

said best to use all destinations - then filter by them.
