Douglas F. Vincent

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1953, vol. 2, issue 2, 107-117

Abstract: Factor analysis was developed largely by psychologists for use in psychology, but it is a statistical method that has been applied to other fields. Mr Vincent's historical exposition should therefore have wide interest.
