| Feb 16, 2020 at 12:39 | comment | added | ttnphns | @user2957945, Paragraph 7 says about normality. Normality assumption is necessary for some methods of factor extraction and for performin some statistical tests facultatively accompanying factor analysis. To your question: Yes, if factors are distributed normally and errors normally too, that will mean manifest variables are also normal. | |
| Feb 16, 2020 at 12:27 | comment | added | user2957945 | dear ttnphns; I notice that you don't mention that the data are assumed normal and other online indicate that normality is not required. My query is if the latent variables are assumed normal, and the observations are modelled as a weighted sum of the factors does this then not imply a normal distribution on the observations? (I'm sorry im sure this is a dumb question) | |

If Binary data should also be avoided,what else factor analysis method can we do for binary data?
