A Note on Approximation of Likelihood Ratio Statistic in Exploratory Factor Analysis ()
Affiliation(s)
ABSTRACT
In normal theory exploratory factor analysis, likelihood ratio (LR) statistic plays an important role in evaluating the goodness-of-fit of the model. In this paper, we derive an approximation of the LR statistic. The approximation is then used to show explicitly that the expectation of the LR statistic agrees with the degrees of freedom of the asymptotic chi-square distribution.
