In a perfect world each item would load cleanly (i.e., highly on one factor, and trivially on the others).

see the recent discussion on this list which can be found at

If you then have further questions, feel free to post more queries on this list providing a more detailed description of your situation.

Hi Team

I run factor analysis on 48 variables . Screen plot shows 3-4 factors to be
considered good for analysis .

I wanna know the criteria to remove redundant variables .

If loading value in any variable comes up low should we remove the variable?

In general ,loading value comes up low for one factor but high for another
variable .

Can any one please tell me what the points should we keep in mind taking the
final decision to eliminate the variables ?

I am highly confused about low or high loading value to be considered for
data reduction.

Thanks in advance !
