Extract

Robert J. Saunders [4] has demonstrated that, because of the high degree of linear interdependence among many of the variables commonly used in banking studies, it may be necessary to interpret explanatory variables in a cross-sectional regression equation, not as representing individual influences but as representing more general factors. He attempted to demonstrate how principal component analysis might be used to isolate and identify some of these general factors.
