ItemRest

Automated Item Removal Strategies for Exploratory Factor Analysis

v0.2.5 · Apr 14, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Automates the identification and comparative evaluation of item-removal strategies in exploratory factor analysis, producing transparent summaries (explained variance, loading ranges, reliability) to support comfortable, reproducible decisions. The criteria are based on best practices and established heuristics (e.g., Costello & Osborne (2005) <doi:10.7275/jyj1-4868>, Howard (2016) <doi:10.1080/10447318.2015.1087664>). Includes flexible thresholds for factor loadings (min_loading) and cross-loading differences (loading_diff).
