This thesis introduces a model hierarchy related to Principal Component Analysis and Factor Analysis, in which vector measurements are linearly decomposed into a relatively small set of hypothetical principal directions, for purposes of dimension reduction. The mathematical specification of unknown parameters in the models is unified…
