Expert systems that guide you

In-built expert systems alert you to problems with your data and analysis, providing suggestions for how to fix them.

Easy-to-interpret outputs

We hand-crafted visualizations designed to make it easy to understand the key insights in the factor analysis.

Automatic automation (no code required)

Once you have created your analysis you can have it automatically refresh with new data (e.g., a new clean data file, a new wave of a tracker). Alternatively, you can turn automatic updating off so you can compare to see how results have changed.

Factor analysis FAQs

What is factor analysis?

Factor analysis is a statistical technique used to identify underlying patterns in large datasets by grouping related variables into factors. It helps reduce data complexity and uncover hidden relationships. Displayr automates factor analysis, making it easy to extract meaningful insights from survey and business data.

Yes and no. There are many different types of factor analysis (such as exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis), but the most commonly used variation of factor analysis is principal component analysis – or PCA for short.

Factor analysis is best used when you want to find patterns in the correlations between variables. It works by converting many variables into a few summary variables. These summary variables are referred to as factors, components, dimensions, and scores.

Factor analysis works by:

  1. Identifying correlations among multiple variables.
  2. Grouping them into underlying factors that explain the observed patterns.
  3. Reducing dimensionality while retaining essential information.

Factor analysis is widely used in research for:

  • Survey analysis (grouping similar questions into themes).
  • Market research (identifying customer preference drivers).
  • Psychology (categorizing personality traits).
  • Finance (finding key indicators of market trends).Displayr helps researchers apply factor analysis in research with automated tools and interactive visualizations.

Yes, PCA works on text data. In fact, because factor analysis is so powerful when it comes to reducing the number of dimensions in a large dataset, it can be a very effective tool when dealing with a text dataset.

Some common factor analysis examples include:

  • Marketing: Identifying key brand perception factors.
  • Healthcare: Grouping patient symptoms into diagnostic categories.
  • HR Analytics: Understanding employee satisfaction drivers.
  • Education: Analyzing student learning styles.With Displayr, businesses and researchers can easily conduct factor analysis for these applications and more.
