I have been completing EFA on dichotomous and ordinal scales using the Bayes estimator
I have also been scoring the factors using imputation and the Bayes Estimator
To complete the imputation I in effect use a CFA based on the EFA
I have been getting substantial differences between the two sets of analyses, including:
Substantial loadings in the EFA becoming non-significant;
The 2 factors which in the EFA had a small correlation (0.2) now correlated so highly (0.9) that a one factor solution was a better model?
The two factor model was conceptually a better model than the one.
