Abstract
The algorithm is proposed and the program is written for the analysis of structural changes in two consequative time points. The work is based on the procedure for the analysis of structural changes (Harris, 1963; Momirović, 1972), and on the algorithm for pseudo-canonic factor analysis (Bosnar, Prot, Momirović, Lužar and Dobrić, 1982). From the super-matrix of correlation of quantitative variables of both time points, the algorithm determines the orthogonal solution defined by pseudo-canonic factors which is then transformed into the varimax and oblimin position. For each obtained solution the algorithm defines the changes of structure as differences of co-oridnates of vector variables in the first and second point of registration on the obtained factors, and as coefficients of congruence of these co-ordinates. The behavior of the algorithm is show on the data of sociologic study.
