| Feb 22, 2011 at 5:07 | comment | added | JMS | A few questions: Is $y$ univariate? Then you have a multiple logistic regression, not a multivariate logistic regression. How are you doing the factor analysis? While there are methods applicable to ordinal variables that are analogous to factor analysis for continuous manifest variables, it isn't clear to me what you're using. Finally, what would you consider to be an inappropriate use of factor analysis? If you look on it as a dimension reduction technique (turning 11 variables into 2) then there's nothing inherently wrong with it. Whether it's a good idea or not is another question. | |
