9 Characterization of Tukey (1977) Exploratory data analysis is detective in character. Confirmatory data analysis is judicial or quasi-judicial in character... Unless the detective finds the clues, judge or jury has nothing to consider. Unless exploratory data analysis uncovers indications, usually quantitative ones, there is likely to be nothing for confirmatory data analysis to consider. On the other hand: Exploratory data analysis can never be the whole story, but nothing else can serve as the foundation stone the first step. Herman Adèr Factor Analysis and SEM 7

This makes that Factor I is now separated into two sublists, of which the above could be called the pure depression scale while (1, 3, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 19) includes a sublist indicating less severe symptoms of depression.

36 Summary Herman Adèr Factor Analysis and SEM 29
37 Summary In factor analysis the contrast between exploratory and confirmatory approaches is quite clear: the available techniques are different although related. can well be performed with principal component analysis, possibly combined with Maximum likelihood factor analysis. PCA is first used to determine the meaningful factors, MLFA for the final factor structure. Structural Equation Modelling makes it possible to analyze a research problem that has been represented as a diagram. Herman Adèr Factor Analysis and SEM 30
