factor analysis
Is there an English term for "Markiervariable" in the context of principal component analysis? I can't seem to find it. The term is used here for variables with a high factor loading. Context like this:
"Drei davon mit einer Faktorladung von xyz sollen als so genannte Markiervariablen näher beschrieben werden"
Thank you!
"Drei davon mit einer Faktorladung von xyz sollen als so genannte Markiervariablen näher beschrieben werden"
Thank you!

Statistik ist zwar nicht mein Fachgebiet, aber für "marker variables" gibt es in diesem Zusammenhang einige Belege:
http://homepages.gold.ac.uk/aphome/lec7ohp.doc
"Solutions with several high loading marker variables may be OK with smaller N" (S. 3)
http://epublications.bond.edu.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article... (S. 25)
http://pubmedcentralcanada.ca/articlerender.cgi?artid=49368
"According to Tabachnick and Fidell [21] sample sizes of 150 should be sufficient when solutions show several high loading marker variables (>.80)."
