A)factor analysis
B)regression
C)discriminant analysis
D)logit analysis

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Factor analysis is a multivariate statistical technique that helps to identify the underlying factors or dimensions from a larger set of variables. It is helpful to reduce the number of variables and make data more manageable. Regression, discriminant analysis, and logit analysis are also multivariate techniques, but they do not specifically identify underlying dimensions or factors. Therefore, option A is the best choice for this question.
