    I'm computing factor analysis on a small corpus of 230 texts
    (i put the texts as rows in a table)
    using 41 linguistic feautres (the columns of the table).
    Is that true that to get reliable results the number of columns
    should be the square root
    or the cubic root of the number of
    the number of rows?

    thank a lot
