The first factor template in Equation (3.1) models the co-occurrence between input variables and output variables. Moreover, the factor in the unigram factor template are defined as: φ_u (y_t,x_t;_t)= exp ∑_k^(K(T))▒〖_TK f_TK (y_t,x_t)〗 (3.2) On the other hand, the second factor template in Equation (3.1) models the co-occurrence between contiguous output variables. The factors in the bigram factor template are defined as: φ_b (y_t,y_(t-1);_)=exp ∑_k^(K())▒〖_K f_K (y_t,y_(t-1))〗 (3.3) As
The first article is Factor Analysis of Cardiovascular Risk Clustering in Pediatric Metabolic Syndrome: CASPIAN Study. This article examined multiple variable factors to determine if children who have metabolic syndrome (MetS) were more prong to have coronary artery disease. Kelishadi, Ardalan, Adeli, Motaghian, Majdzadeh, Delavari, and Namazi (2007) investigated data from over 4,800 nationally represented school students aged 6-18 years. In order to find out if there was a correlation within
Factor analysis can only be applied to continuous variables (or) interval scaled variables. Factor analysis is like Regression analysis as it tries to ‘best fit’ the factors to a scatter diagram of data in such a way that the factors explain the variance associated with the responses to each statements. Factor analysis was conducted by the researcher in the present research in the following stages. 1. Desk Research 2. Formulation of questionnaire 3. Collection of data 4. Feeding and processing the
3.5 Data analysis methods According to Pallant (2007), the obtained data needs to be analysed and interpreted very carefully in order for the researcher to gain valuable and useful information from the study (p. 100). The researcher should have at least understanding statistical techniques used in the study for data analysis. Moreover, Hair et al. (2003) have also mentioned that it is very important to determine the goodness of the collected data and analyse it accurately because the wrong data will
EFE The external Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix examines a company’s external environment to help identify its opportunities and threats. In this matrix you figure out what your companies, in our case McDonald’s, opportunities and threats, and you give them a weight and rating. The weight for each opportunity and threat can range from 0.0 (low importance) to 1.0 (high importance). The number indicates how important the factor is if a company wants to succeed in an industry. The sum of the weights

The IPIP-NEO develops the report of estimating one’s near accurate personality traits by an objective viewpoint. The purpose of the IPIP-NEO assessment is

5.3 Quantitative Analysis The first step in the quantitative analysis was to do a factor analysis on the initial factors given. This would help to reduce the number of factors and also to group the similar factors. The similar group of factors can be called by a common name. Factor Analysis was done on 20 variables which were considered to affect the supply chain effectiveness in the retail industry.

Descriptive statistic is a statistic analysis to describe the characteristic of the respondents (Pallant, 2013). This study employs descriptive statistical analysis which gives value of mean, median and standard deviation of the respondents based on several indicators, such as sex/gender, educational level, position at work and income of the respondents. By using these indicators, the researcher describes the profile of the respondents. Hence, it can give some valuable information about the respondents
