Assignment 1
Problem Description:
You are human resources researchers who want to understand the underlying factors for job
candidates. You measured 12 variables as your sample data and you need to identify the latent
factors. perform factor analysis algorithm using python to complete your job.
- The dataset is given in the file called “FactorAnalysis.csv” attached with the assignment.
Requirements:
Deliver a python notebook that states the following:
1. A runnable, clean and clear code.
2. Full steps declarations for each section of code.
3. Result explanation with your personal observations.
4. A simple visualization declares results.
5. You must check data structure and dimensions and clean the data before starting the
application of the algorithm.
Important Instructions:
The deadline for assignment submission is next Friday 29 December 2023 at 11:00 PM.
Similar copies of code will get 0.
You are not allowed to use external methods outside of the sections.
Delivering a code without reporting steps, attaching notes, and interpreting result will void the
grade.
