Factor analysis covers a range of multivariate methods used to explain how underlying factors influence a set of observed variables. When research aims to identify these underlying factors, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is used.

EFA has many similarities with a commonly used data reduction technique called principal component analysis (PCA).
