 Hello, there:
 
 I am looking for software or programs that has procedure for drawing
 confidence region for bivariate cases, such as Youden Plot. I am not
 aware that the commonly used software such as Minitab, SPSS or SAS has
 procedures for this. If anyone has such a program or happens to know any
 resource, I would appreciate for such information.

I am not sure what a Youden Plot is, however, bivariate normal
confidence ellipses are not hard to draw in SAS, particularly if you
use the procedure outlined in Jackson, J. E. (1991) "A User's Guide To
Principal Components", John Wiley and Sons, New York, Chapter 15.

 Hi, thanks for the reply. But is beta really just b/SD_b? In the standardized
 case, the X and Y variables are centered and scaled. If Rxx is the corr matrix

No.  b/SD_b  is the t-test.
Beta is b, after it is scaled by the SD of X and the SD of Y.

Yes, beta is the b if X and Y  are  'scaled' to unit normal.

PCA and factor analysis: when to use which

2001-04-18 Thread Ken Reed

What is the basis for deciding when to use principal components analysis and
when to use factor analysis. Could anyone describe a problem that
illustrates the difference?
