Talk:R Programming/Factor Analysis

"Factor analysis is mainly used in marketing, sociology and psychology. It is also known as data mining, multivariate data analysis or exploratory data analysis."

Surely the second sentence is misleading - all three of data mining, multivariate data analysis and exploratory data analysis are much more general concepts. Better say 'factor analysis can be described as a form of data mining or multivariate data analysis or exploratory data analysis'.
