Which statistical technique is used to analyze patterns of loading of coefficients?
Show Hint
- Correlation
- Regression
- Factor Analysis
- Item Analysis
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understand the statistical purpose.
- Factor analysis is a statistical method that examines relationships among observed variables. - It identifies latent variables (factors) that explain patterns of correlations among measured variables.
Step 2: Analyze given options.
- Correlation: Measures relationship between two variables only. (Incorrect)
- Regression: Predicts one variable based on another. (Incorrect)
- Factor Analysis: Discovers underlying structure from loading patterns. (Correct)
- Item Analysis: Evaluates test questions, not loading patterns. (Incorrect)
Thus, the correct statistical technique is: \[ \boxed{{Factor Analysis}} \]
