Abstract
The association structure between manifest variables arising from the single-factor model is investigated using partial correlations. The additional insights to the practitioner provided by partial correlations for detecting a single-factor model are discussed. The parameter space for the partial correlations is presented, as are the patterns of signs in a matrix containing the partial correlations that are not compatible with a single-factor model. Key words: anti-image correlation matrix, elliptical tetrahedron, factor analysis, factor partial correlation, manifest partial correlation.
