Sommario/riassunto

Whether defined by the carnivalesque excesses of Troma studios (The



Toxic Avenger), the arthouse erotica of Radley Metzger and Doris Wishman, or the narrative experimentations of Abel Ferrara, Melvin Van Peebles, Jack Smith, or Harmony Korine, underground cinema has achieved an important position within American film culture. Often defined as ""cult"" and ""exploitation"" or ""alternative"" and ""independent,"" the American underground retains separate strategies of production and exhibition from the cinematic mainstream, while its sexual and cinematic representations differ from the tradition

Sommario/riassunto

Statistical Factor Analysis and Related Methods Theory and Applications In bridging the gap between the mathematical and statistical theory of factor analysis, this new work represents the first unified treatment of the theory and practice of factor analysis and latent variable models. It focuses on such areas as:* The classical principal components model and sample-population inference* Several extensions and modifications of principal components, including Q and three-mode analysis and principal components in the complex domain* Maximum likelihood and weighted factor models, fact
