Subject: Factor Analysis for non-metric variables
Dear All:
I am now struggling with my MSc dissertation and there are two problems with
Factor Analysis now. The first one is how can I include non-metric variables
into FA, like Gender, Marital status, occupation, residential area,etc? The
other one is every time I tried KMO and Barlett's test , the output never
show up. there is an notification under the correlation matrix: "the matrix
is not positive definite" I don't know what's the meaning for that. And How
can I solve these two problems? Or anyone can kindly see my output result, I
will send it to you.
Many Thanks
Christina
