Program SECONDOR computes various first-order principal components, including unrotated components, and components rotated to both varimax and promax criteria. Both rotated and unrotated second-order components are reported, and several aids for interpreting higher-order results directly in terms of observed variables are reported, including a Schmid-Leiman solution.
