Statistical Society meeting. The meeting will be held at 4pm on
Wednesday 12th June 2013 in Worsley SR7 (6.55) at the University of
Leeds; please see our website for a location map. We will be serving
refreshments beforehand from 3:30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and

The details of the meeting are as follows:
Speaker: Tim Croudace, PhD (Professor of Psychometric Epidemiology,
University of York)
Title: Experiences with freeware for factor analysis: what are the new
factors in factor analysis?
Abstract
A huge community of researchers consider applying the method of factor
analysis to their data. In recent years considerable progress has been
made in the capabilities of free software programmes in particular for
exploratory analyses. I will provide some reflections and
recommendations based on my use of these tools, using examples from
health and life-style surveys, birth cohort studies and psychiatry.
These psychometric epidemiology case-studies will be show-cased in
future training events across the White Rose Social Science DTC
(Doctoral Training Centre). Examples include "bifactor style" analyses.
The details for all meetings can be found on our webpage:

Many thanks,
