Figures & data
Figure 1. Population and estimated eigenvalues for a ten-dimensional CFA with 34 degrees of freedom. The × represent population eigenvalues, while the boxplots represent estimated eigenvalues across 200 replications at sample size n = 1500.

Figure 2. The sorted simulated data plotted against i/d for the curve in red is the theoretical quantile function. The curve in blue is the empirical quantile function. The dotted black values are the levels of the observations.
