Table 5. Parallel analysis (Monte Carlo PA) output of the physical activity questionnaire-children (PAQ-C).
| Number of factors | Actual eigenvalue from PCA | Random order eigenvalues (means) | Random order eigenvalues (95th percentile) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1* | 3.21* | 1.34 | 1.46* |
| 2 | 1.09 | 1.23 | 1.30 |
| 3 | 0.96 | 1.13 | 1.20 |
| 4 | 0.78 | 1.06 | 1.11 |
| 5 | 0.72 | 0.99 | 1.04 |
| 6 | 0.66 | 0.92 | 0.97 |
| 7 | 0.56 | 0.85 | 0.91 |
| 8 | 0.52 | 0.78 | 0.84 |
| 9 | 0.49 | 0.69 | 0.77 |
Note:
*
For first factor, value of the actual Eigenvalue (3.21) was more than the 95th percentile of the random ordered Eigenvalue (1.46) in PCA principal component analysis.
