It is recommended that the following two assumptions be evaluated and any necessary transformations be made to ensure the quality of data and improve the quality of the resulting factor or component solution:
A) All variables, as well as all linear combinations of variables, must be normally distributed.
B) The relationships among all variables must be linear.
C) The relationships among all pairs of variables must be linear.
D) Both (a) and (c) are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct assumptions to evaluate for improving the quality of data and the resulting factor or component solution include the normal distribution of all variables and their linear combinations (A), and the requirement for linear relationships among all pairs of variables (C). These are foundational assumptions in many statistical analyses, including factor analysis, to ensure accurate results.
