make_criteria {FAiR}R Documentation

Create Lexical Criteria for Factor Transformation

Description

This function establishes the lexical criteria that are used by Rotate to find the optimal transformation of the factors Rarely would a user call this function directly, since it is called by Rotate in the usual case.

Usage

make_criteria(factors, weights, FAobject)

Arguments

factors The number of factors
weights This argument is only relevant if the varphi criterion is used for transformation and should either be NULL or a numeric vector giving the weights to be used If NULL, then a dynamic weighting scheme will be used for the with the varphi criterion.
FAobject An object of class "FA" produced by Factanal

Details

This function is essential but it is called internally by Rotate when the criteria argument of Rotate is not specified. Thus, a typical user would never need to call this function directly. It is somewhat convenient when conducting simulations or debugging, in the sense that the appropriate object can be created once and then passed repeatedly to the criteria argument of Rotate to avoid having to repeatedly answer the questions in the pop-up menus.

Value

Returns a list of functions of length at least one
