WITHDRAWN: Data Visualization for Factor Analysis (304075)
Nivedita Bhaktha, Center for Science of Student LearningKeywords: Factor Analysis, Data Visualization, Multivariate Data
Factor analysis is routinely used by applied statisticians to reduce the dimensions of their data set, and to form meaningful factors. While there are good guidelines on how to report the results, data visualization tools are rarely used in factor analysis. Data visualization, especially in a multivariate framework, makes it easier for people to understand the results of the analysis better. This presentation will introduce and demonstrate different data visualization techniques that can be used to present the results of the factor analysis and improve its interpretation. These graphical tools can also be used for purposes other than factor analysis. The audience will understand and use common data visualization tools to guide their factor analysis. The data analysis will be performed in R software. A resource guide will also be provided to the audience which will contain in-depth information about the technique.
