An Entropy-Based Approach for Measuring Factor Contributions in Factor Analysis Models

In factor analysis, factor contributions of latent variables are assessed conventionally by the sums of the squared factor loadings related to the variables. First, the present paper considers issues in the conventional method. Second, an alternative entropy-based approach for measuring factor contr...
