Abstract
Attention is called to a common misinterpretation of a bivariate Chole sky analysis as if it were a common and specific factor analysis. It i s suggested that an initial Cholesky behavior genetic analysis should often be transformed into a different form for interpretation. Formula s are provided for four transformations in the bivariate case.
