# statsmodels.multivariate.factor.FactorResults¶

class statsmodels.multivariate.factor.FactorResults(factor)[source]

Factor results class

Parameters: factor (Factor) – Fitted Factor class
uniqueness

ndarray – The uniqueness (variance of uncorrelated errors unique to each variable)

communality

ndarray – 1 - uniqueness

loadings

loadings_no_rot

eigenvalues

ndarray – The eigenvalues for a factor analysis obtained using principal components; not available under ML estimation.

n_comp

int – Number of components (factors)

nbs

int – Number of observations

fa_method

string – The method used to obtain the decomposition, either ‘pa’ for ‘principal axes’ or ‘ml’ for maximum likelihood.

df

int – Degrees of freedom of the factor model.

Notes

Under ML estimation, the default rotation (used for loadings) is condition IC3 of Bai and Li (2012). Under this rotation, the factor scores are iid and standardized. If G is the canonical loadings and U is the vector of uniquenesses, then the covariance matrix implied by the factor analysis is GG’ + diag(U).
