title: A Note on Some Sampling Characteristics of the Measure of Sampling Adequacy (MSA).
abstract: The distributional characteristics of the measure of sampling adequacy (MSA) were investigated in sample correlation matrices generated from multivariate normal populations with covariance matrix equal to the identity. Systematic variation of sample size and number of variables resulted in minimal fluctuation of the overall MSA from .50. Implications for the use of the index were discussed.
