Abstract:	This document reviews the theory of factorial analysis, giving importance to the fundamental results that validate the use of the technique. Some of the results shown in this work, although understood as necessary in the construction of the statistical method, couldn't be found proved in other references, and their demonstrations are included. Once the theory has been explained, it is shown trough an example, a procedure to obtain probability based indices built over latent factors fitting a confirmatory factorial model. Indices are intended to evaluate the evolution of economic, as well as social, ecological and urban aspects in metropolitan regions, and so they can be considered sustainable progress indicators. The procedure was proposed by a research team of the IERMB1 and the MCS2 , in a study published in 2019. The example in this report is still in the discussion phase. The aim is to initiate the updating of that methodology, to apply it in a future study with new and extended data.
