LATENT STRUCTURE OF EFFICIENCY AT 2009 CONTINENTAL ( ZONE ) BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS UDC : 796
Applying the method of main components by Hotelling and the method of rotation of the main components, i.e. Varimax rotations by Keiser, the latent structure of basketball efficiency was established. Six factors have been isolated by means of which the accounted variance has been 77,16%. Factorization was performed on the entire sample of all game-winning teams, that is 220. Latent dimensions, i.e. factors have been extracted on the basis of 13 manifest parameters of efficiency. Faktorska analiza sa ekstrahovanih šest latnentnih dimenzija, i izdvajanjem tri komponente koje objašnjavaju mnogo veæi dio varijanse od preostalih komponenti, ukazuje na to da se latentna struktura košarkaške efikasnosti na Zonskim seniorskim prvenstvima 2009. godine moe objasniti: faktorom šuta za tri poena, faktorom izvoðenja slobodnih bacanja i faktorom opšte napadaèke efikasnosti,.
