The phrase "proceeding factor" is not a common phrase in written English, so it should be avoided.
However, if you want to use it, it is grammatically correct. Example: The dense fog was a major proceeding factor in the traffic accident.
Before proceeding with factor analysis, it is important to consider whether a specific data set is conducive to factor analytic techniques.
The Keiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy was 0.756 and Bartlett's test of Sphericity was significant at 0.000; indicating a high sampling adequacy and a justification for proceeding with factor analysis, as shown in Table 1.
The item mean score varied from 1.3 (SD = 1.06: Item 2) to 2.7 (SD =.87: Item 6) All the diagnostic tests indicated adequacy of proceeding with factor analysis.
Before proceeding with factor analysis, the conformity of the data was tested (Keiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient = 0.831, Bartlett's test of sphericity p < 0.001).
Analysis proceeded via factor analysis of perceptions of the physical environment (step 1) and regression analysis to identify plausible pathways involving physical and social environmental mediators and refine the intervention theory (step 2) to a final path analysis to test the model (step 3).
We started adding the forest regions, proxies for anthropogenic disturbances (i.e. habitat degradation and distance to the nearest village), and encounter rates of relevant coexisting cheirogaleids before proceeding to analyzing factor interactions.
As cell division and DNA synthesis in the early embryo proceed, the factors that maintain transcriptional quiescence become titrated out: thus, after a critical number of cell cycles, genomic DNA becomes transcriptionally competent and transcription commences (Newport and Kirschner, 1982b; Newport and Kirschner, 1982a; Edgar and Schubiger, 1986; Kimelman et al., 1987; Dalle Nogare et al., 2009).
Studies by us or others have clearly shown that the etiological factors proceeding BBB disruption are indeed inflammatory in nature and comprise both cellular (monocytes) and molecular (IL1-β) factors [36], [44], [45].
Before proceeding to the factors influencing the delivery, dissolution and disposition of aerosol particles delivered to the lungs, the environment in which they will deposit must be described sufficiently for the later consideration.
This information allowed us to proceed with exploratory factor analysis to identify the factor model.
