Schönemann & Steiger (1976, Theorem 5) proved that the common factor model fits a given set of observed variables if and only if a restricted regression component model fits the same variables. In the present paper a number of results, relating factor score estimates and the class of all sets of ‘factor‐equivalent’ regression components, are presented. These results clarify and extend a result given by McDonald (1977).
