What do i do if I need to run a factor analysis and have non-normal
distribution for some of the items (indicators)? Does Principal
component analysis require the normality assumption. Can I use GLS to
extract the factors and get over the problem of non-normality. Please
do give references if you are replying.
Thanks.
