Method Horst-Hilsch (HH) for the Transformation Problem in Exploratory Factor Analysis
Four general approaches to the transformation problem in exploratory factor analysis are reviewed, with primary attention given to xerxes (hyperplanefitting) methods. The Kaiser-Cerny (KC) Rule for dichotomizing row-normalized normal varimax loadings, for a given factor, into near-zero and non-near-zero elements is described at some length. The Method Horst-Hilsch (HH) xerxes procedure is explored in detail. Some numerical examples and concluding remarks are appended.
