Abstract
Principal components analysis can be redefined in terms of the regression of observed variables upon component variables. Two criteria for the adequacy of a component representation in this context are developed and are shown to lead to different component solutions. Both criteria are generalized to allow weighting, the choice of weights determining the scale invariance properties of the resulting solution. A theorem is presented giving necessary and sufficient conditions for equivalent component solutions under different choices of weighting. Applications of the theorem are discussed that involve the components analysis of linearly derived variables and of external variables.

There have been a number of important developments by several authors which are based on the assumption that test taking behavior is stochastic, that is, it is assumed that the probability that an individual will "endorse" or "pass" a dichotomous item can be represented by some function of an underlying, "latent" attribute called the item trace line or item characteristic curve.
