Factor Analysis in R

Description

This package estimates exploratory, confirmatory, and semi-exploratory factor analysis models. It utilizes a genetic algorithm, genoud for optimization, which makes semi-exploratory factor analysis possible and permits new (and enhances old) techniques for transforming factors that are extracted via exploratory factor analysis.

The two most important functions are Factanal and, in the case of exploratory factor analysis, Rotate. Factanal can also be used to estimate semi-exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis models, in which case it is unnecessary and impossible to transform the factors. There are a variety of S4 and S3 methods to facilitate the interpretation of the results of Factanal and Rotate. The vignette has additional information regarding the pop-up menus; execute vignette("FAiR") to read it.
