Identify a recommendation by Brown (2006) regarding confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for cross-validation of a factor structure.
A) A researcher should use common factor analysis (CA) instead of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) as it provides a real estimation of factor structure.
B) A researcher should use consistent methods across exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) .
C) A researcher should use confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) instead of common factor analysis (CA) as it provides a real estimation of factor structure.
D) A researcher should use different estimation methods for the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) .
Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)
A statistical technique used to test the hypothesis that a relationship between observed variables and their underlying latent constructs exists.
Cross-validation
A statistical method used to estimate the performance of a model by partitioning the data into subsets, training the model on one subset, and validating it on another.
