<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues, I’ve written a short note relating to a simulation I ran to clarify my muddy thinking about the effects of bias (towards match or mismatch) in face matching experiments and the way that principal components analysis separates
match and mismatch items into different components. I can’t see it making a published paper but I figure others may find it useful, so I’ve put it up on psyarxiv:
<a href="https://psyarxiv.com/f2a9j">https://psyarxiv.com/f2a9j</a> Bottom line: when participants vary in bias and ability independently, PCA tends to separate match and mismatch trials, especially after varimax rotation.<span style="mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The (not very elegant) matlab simulation code is on OSF, linked from the paper.<o:p></o:p></p>
