ItemRest: Automated Item Removal Strategies for Exploratory Factor Analysis

Automates the identification and comparative evaluation of item-removal strategies in exploratory factor analysis, producing transparent summaries (explained variance, loading ranges, reliability) to support comfortable, reproducible decisions. The criteria are based on best practices and established heuristics (e.g., Costello & Osborne (2005) <doi:10.7275/jyj1-4868>, Howard (2016) <doi:10.1080/10447318.2015.1087664>).
