| contents | Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is useful to identify the number and mapping of the hidden factors that could dominantly represent the features in the dataset. Principal component analysis (PCA) is the first step as part of the two-step procedure to conduct EFA, with the number of dominant principal components being the number of hidden factors and the entries for the features in the corresponding Eigenvectors serve as the initial values of the factor loadings. In this paper, we conduct EFA on a suite of 80 complex network datasets to identify the number and mapping of the hidden factors (expected to be less than four) that could dominantly represent the values incurred by the vertices with respect to the four major centrality metrics (degree: DEG, eigenvector: EVC, betweenness: BWC and closeness: CLC). |
