Prior to performing PCA or Factor Analysis it is a good idea to perform two tests to determine whether components or factors will result from the analysis or whether it will be a waste of time. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin index (KMO) of sampling adequacy and Bartlett's test for sphericity are such tests. Where is the KMO test in MATLAB?

Google returns references to KMO Matlab code. Of course, the first
page of Google results will be pointers to your question here.

I do not need help with PCA. I want what most researchers want to see before PCA is performed, that is, KMO. PCA needs to be justified with KMO. Where is KMO in MATLAB?

I did not search with Google for PCA. I found references to KMO
implemented with Matlab. Why don't you?

I am not looking for a reference to KMO in MATLAB. All those references use another software to produce the KMO statistic or there is custom script that is necessary. I want to know where the functionality resides. Does it exist or do I have to use custom script for a basic research function?
