TL;DR
The computer program CABFAC for Q-mode factor analysis of geologic data has been extended for use with data having constant row-sums, and two programs serve to reproduce estimates of the original data rather than of the data in normalized form.
Abstract
The computer program CABFAC for Q-mode factor analysis of geologic data has been extended for use with data having constant row-sums. Another program, QMODEL, reads an output file from CABFAC and can be used to develop a variety of Q-mode models. The models serve to reproduce estimates of the original data rather than of the data in normalized form.
