Introduction
Assessing interdependence between
variables allows the researcher to
summarise and understand a large
number of independent variables.
Techniques for grouping X variables
include:
Factor analysis, to reduce and summarise
data.
Cluster analysis, to classify objects.

Interdependence Techniques
Interdependence exists when no
single variable or group of
variables among those under
consideration can be defined as
being dependent or independent.
No one variable can be predicted or
explained by the others.
Need to analyse all the variables in
the data set simultaneously.

Summary of Selected
Interdependence Methods –
Factor analysis
Factor analysis is used to
summarise the information
contained in a large number of
variables into a smaller number of
subsets called factors.

Summary of Selected
Interdependence Methods –
Cluster Analysis
Cluster analysis is used to
classify respondents or objects
(e.g. products, stores) into
groups that are homogeneous,
or similar within the groups but
different between groups.

Factor Analysis
A technique to summarise
information contained in a large
number of variables into a
smaller number of subsets or
factors.
To simplify the data.
No distinction between X and Y
(dependent and independent
variables), they are analysed
together.

Factor Analysis - Factor Loadings
The correlation between each factor
score and each of the original
variables.
Each factor loading is a measure of
the importance of the variable in
measuring the factor.
From –1 to +1
A ‘high loading’ or correlation means
that the variable helps define the
factor.

Factor Analysis
Naming Factors
Combine intuition and knowledge of
the variables with an inspection of
the variables that have high
loadings on each factor.

Factor Analysis
How many factors?
Look at the percentage of variation.
Factor Scores
Produce composite variables when
applied to a number of variables.
A factor is a weighted summary
score of a set of related variables.

Factor Analysis
How many factors to retain?
A complex process.
How much does each factor
contribute to the understanding
of the data?

Cluster Analysis
Marketing researchers draw upon
cluster analysis to classify
objects or respondents into
groups that have something in
common.
Cluster analysis pinpoints what is
homogeneous/similar within
groups but
heterogeneous/different between
them.

Cluster Analysis
An Interdependence method—
why?
Groups objects within each
group that are similar on a variety
of measures.
Be aware of applications.
