Refer to your initial factor analysis and scrutinize the items looking for
communalities close to 1.0. You will find one or more of them. You will
also find one or more eigenvalues very close to zero, indicative of a
singular matrix.
Example of simulated data with a linear relationship between one and several
other variables.
INPUT PROGRAM.
LOOP #=1 TO 1000.
+ DO REPEAT v=v1 TO v20.
+ COMPUTE v=trunc(uniform(2)).
+ END REPEAT.
+ END CASE.
END LOOP.
END FILE.
END INPUT PROGRAM.
compute badguy=v1 + v2 + (v4 +v5)/5 + v6/2.
