This procedure performs a factor analysis. The purpose of the analysis is to obtain a small number of factors which account for
most of the
variability in the 5 variables. In this case, 2 factors have been extracted, since 2 factors had eigenvalues greater than or equal to
1,0. Together
they account for 90,5894% of the variability in the original data. Since you have selected the principal components method, the
initial
communality estimates have been set to assume that all of the variability in the data is due to common factors.

This table shows the equations which estimate the common factors before any rotation is performed. For example, the first
common factor has
the equation
where the values of the variables in the equation are standardized by subtracting their means and dividing by their standard
deviations. It
also shows the estimated communalities, which can be interpreted as estimating the proportion of the variability in each variable
attributable
to the extracted factors.

This table shows the equations which estimate the common factors after rotation has been performed. Rotation is performed in
order to simplify
the explanation of the factors. The first rotated factor has the equation
where the values of the variables in the equation are standardized by subtracting their means and dividing by their standard
deviations. It
also shows the estimated communalities, which can be interpreted as estimating the proportion of the variability in each variable
attributable
to the extracted factors.
