Principal Components and Regularized Estimation of Factor Models (2017, background): “(5)CMTFA is due to Bentler (1972). See also Bentler and Woodward (1980); Shapiro (1982); Shapiro and ten Berge (2000).”
A nonlinear programming algorithm for solving semidefinite programs via low-rank factorization (2003, methodology): “In [3], Bentler proposes a Gauss-Seidel-type minimization method to minimize a problem involving low-rank positive semidefinite matrices in statistical minimum trace factor analysis (see Shapiro [23] for a brief introduction), and in [18], Lu and Klein use techniques of [20] to reduce the rank of th”
The asymptotic bias of minimum trace factor analysis, with applications to the greatest lower bound to reliability (2000, methodology): “When the constraint Ψ º 0 is ignored, we are dealing with Minimum Trace Factor Analysis (MTFA), first considered by Bentler (1972) under the name “Minimum Variance Factor Analysis”.”
