Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A plot of eigenvalues against the number of factors is typically referred to as a scree plot, which helps identify the number of factors to retain for analysis. Factor loading refers to the correlation between a factor and a specific variable, factor score refers to the calculated score for each participant on each identified factor, and communality refers to the proportion of variance in a variable that is accounted for by all the factors together.
