The phrase "a subsequent factor" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing elements or variables that come after a previous factor in a sequence or analysis.
Example: "In our study, we found that a subsequent factor influenced the overall results significantly."
Alternatives: "a following element" or "a later variable".
Confirmatory factor analysis of the German version supported the intended 5-factor structure, although a subsequent exploratory factor analysis showed that a 4-factor structure is equally likely [ 17].
However, both the original factor analysis and a subsequent confirmatory factor analysis showed somewhat stronger support for the simpler model including positive and negative factors only.
In a subsequent step, factor loadings were obtained (threshold: factor load > 0.40).
However, a subsequent confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) that compared (a) a theoretically derived three-factor model (one factor for each of the belief types; Clark & Wells, 1995), (b) the empirically derived two-factor model (from the exploratory factor analysis), and (c) a parsimonious one-factor model suggested that the three-factor model was the best-fitting model (Wong & Moulds, 2011a).
A Varimax as well as an obliquely rotated principal component analysis yielded three factors that accounted for 48.2%% of variance and were affirmed by a subsequent confirmatory factor analysis with appropriate model fit [ 3].
This polarity dependency of ETX induced biological effects may be due to either, easier access of this toxin to target molecule(s) localized on the basolateral side of the small intestine, and/or interaction with a subsequent epithelial factor.
The MBL kit control was used across all plates to determine interplate variability and a subsequent correction factor used for each plate.
To analyze whether the genes that did not have a PPRE according to Lemay et al. might have other transcriptional binding sites, a network analysis and a subsequent transcription factor binding site search with Genomatix software was performed.
In a subsequent subanalysis, the factor for prepared meals that were collected by patients was added.
