This paper proposes a method for deriving interpretable common factors based on canonical correlation analysis applied to the vectors of common factors and manifest variables in the factor analysis model. First, an entropy-based method for measuring factor contributions is reviewed. Second, the entropy-based contribution measure of the common-factor vector is decomposed into those of canonical common factors, and it is also shown that the importance order of factors is that of their canonical correlation coefficients. Third, the method is applied to derive interpretable common factors. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the usefulness of the present approach.

In order to explore the influencing factors of electricity-saving behavior, based on the survey data of residents' electricity consumption habits in some areas of Sichuan province, SPSS was used to analyze the differences of different electricity-saving behaviors. And then we establish factor analysis model, induce and extract the common factors that affect the electricity saving behavior. The results show that there are significant differences between psychological cost, behavioral cost, lack of relevant knowledge and electricity cost. They are three common factors that affect the implementation of electricity saving behavior, and the cumulative explainable rate is 52.302%.

Merger and acquisition is currently the mainly way of power enterprise to pursue scale effect and improve competitiveness. So it is necessary to research the method to evaluate the merger effectiveness. In this paper, the common methods are analyzed, and a new factor analysis model based on the index-system-method is established. The comprehensive score gained from the model can stand for annual comprehensive performance of the merger company; then paired t-test the comprehensive scores of two different years; finally, whether the merger caused significant performance can be known.
