couldn't find more info in the BABOK or CBDA guide. Had to do research on this one. Factor analysis is a statistical method used to identify underlying relationships between variables. It reduces the dimensionality of a dataset by grouping related variables into factors. These factors can then be combined to create a single score that represents an underlying concept, in this case, sustainability. K means clustering is used for partitioning data into distinct clusters but doesn't produce a single score. Logistic regression is used for binary classification and would not produce a single score from multiple measures. Linkage algorithms are typically used in hierarchical clustering and do not aggregate multiple measures into a single score.
