title: Transformation Methods For Latent Roots And Vectors.
abstract: Factorial analysis by the principal component method leads to a well- known problem in mathematics, that of the solution of the characteristic equation. One of the solutions widely known to psychologists is that of the Hotelling iterative method. This article presents two transformation methods that possess certain advantages over the Hotelling procedure.
