Troubleshooting
Problem
I ran the SPSS FACTOR procedure on a set of variables. The Factor Matrix table is empty, except for a footnote which states: "Attempted to extract 4 factors. In iteration 100, the communality of a variable exceeded 1.0. Extraction was terminated." I had requested 4 factors and a maximum of 100 iterations for the extraction. One way to fix the iteration would be to set that communality to the value 1 and continue the iterations. Can FACTOR perform that function? Can the /DIAGONAL subcommand be used to direct such an action?
