W erdelin , I. Synthesis of factor analyses. I. The theoretical background. Scand. J. Psychol ., 1962, 3 , 143–154.—When performing a series of factor analyses, we must be able to compare the different solutions. From a discussion of mathematical invariance theory, a number of assumptions are deduced, which are necessary when we perform a series of analyses with entirely or partly the same tests but different samples of subjects. From these assumptions we obtain a method of rotating the factors of a certain study to a pattern determined by the factors of another study.
