An Improvement of the Harman-Fukuda-Method for the Minres-solution in factor analysis

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Method proposed by Harman and Fukuda to treat the so-called Heywood case in the minres method in factor analysis i.e., the case where the resulting communalities are greater than one, involves the frequent solution of eigenvalue problems. A simple method to treat this problem requiring less computing time and enjoying higher numerical stability is described in this paper.
