Kaiser, Henry F. An index of factorial simplicity. (English) Zbl 0295.92017 Psychometrika 39, 31-36 (1974). Summary: An index of factorial simplicity, employing the quartimax transformational criteria of Carroll, Wrigley and Neuhaus, and Saunders, is developed. This index is both for each row separately and for a factor pattern matrix as a whole. The index varies between zero and one. The problem of calibrating the index is discussed.
