The results obtained using covariance matrices are hard to interpret here. Since there are three kinds of units used: pound, inch, and self-defined scales(1-8), the factor loadings on some variables are very large and others small.
Interpretation of the factors is straightforward using results obtained from the covariance matrix.
By (c) and (d), 1. factor 1 has larger loadings on YrHgt, Frame, and SaleHt, which are all related to the heights of the bulls. 2. Factor 2 has large loadings on FtFrBody and PrctFFB and is negatively related to BkFat in both methods(PC & ML) of factor analysis. It might be called a lean factor. 3. In both PC & ML method of factor analysis, the loadings of factor 3 is large on SaleWt. The loading is also large on BkFat from the PC method, and the loading is medium on FtFrBody from the ML method. Factor 3 might be related to the weights of the bulls.
The point, 51, in the scatter plot on the left and the point, 16, in the scatter plot on the right seem to be outliers.
By the unity criterion we use 4 factors1.

RC4: 有利成分
此因素在第 2, 5, 9 題有較高的因素負荷量。這些題目似乎皆與健康有關。飲料能提供營養或避免添加不健康的物質,似與此因素有關。
RC1: 有效解渴 此因素在第 3, 7, 10 題有較高的因素負荷量,這些題目皆與飲料是否解渴有關。
RC2: 獨特風味
此因素在第 1, 4, 8 題有較高的因素負荷量,這些題目皆強調飲料的口感。
RC3: 綠能包裝
此因素僅在第 6 題有較高的因素負荷量。第 6 題是一獨特的題目,所有題目中僅其強調環境因素。因此一個因素僅在第 6 題有較高的因素負荷量顯得相當合理。

在不考慮綠能包裝下,可以從各散布圖中看出 3 種飲料類型:
相同類型的飲料在散布圖中,通常位置會較為接近。例如,茶飲較為健康且有獨特風味,因此出現在出現在右上圖的右上方;碳酸飲料含糖量高,既不健康又不解渴,因此在左上圖中,出現在左下方;運動飲料則在有效解渴上,出現在類似的位置。
Although factor 4 is less than 1, it’s eigenvalue is very close to factor 3, hence we retain factor 4.↩
