FACTOR analysis is a subject upon which Prof. G. H. Thomson, Dr. Wm, Brown and others have frequently written letters to NATURE. This analysis is concerned with a selected population of n individuals each of whom has been measured in m tests. The (m) (m 1)/2 intercorrelations for these m variables are subjected to either a Spearman or other factor analysis.
