If I said yes why should you believe me?
Try it for yourself.
The specifics are documented in the algorithms available somewhere in the
IBM labyrinth.

Hi Listserve,

I am wondering how the SPSS factor scores in the "Factor" command are
calculated. More specifically, does the method of extraction change the
calculated factor scores? I want to compare the factor scores created by a
PCA compared to an EFA (with ML estimation). Is this possible in SPSS? I
know there are three ways of calculating the factor scores (Regression,
Bartlett, Anderson-Rubin). Let us assume I tell SPSS to use the same way:
Regression. If I tell SPSS to create "Regression" factor scores with a
principle component method of extraction, will they be different than the
"Regression" factor scores with a maximum likelihood method of extraction?

Thank you,
