In order to analyze the data, a statistical technique,
i.e., Factor Analysis was used. Factor Analysis is applied in
two situations e First, to reconstruct the result from the
original data by identifying small number of factors that
explain most of the variance observed in the much larger
number of variables. And, second, to screen variables for
subsequent analysis, like for performing regression analysis.
In this study, Factor Analysis has been used to
generate common factors from the original variables.
