本文对主成分分析法和探索性因子分析法的目标进行了比较。这是通过考虑九个例子来完成的。基本理论在附录中介绍。除了涵盖标准材料，我们还描述了一些最近的发展。作为因素分析的一种替代方法，有人指出，在某些情况下，如果适当，轮换某些主成分可能是有用的。
In this paper we compare and contrast the objectives of principal component analysis and exploratory factor analysis. This is done through consideration of nine examples. Basic theory is presented in appendices. As well as covering the standard material, we also describe a number of recent developments. As an alternative to factor analysis, it is pointed out that in some cases it may be useful to rotate certain principal components if and when that is appropriate.
