The FACTOR Procedure

Overview

Enhancements to the FACTOR procedure include:

the generalized Crawford-Ferguson family of rotations (Jennrich 1973) using the ROTATE= option, including the direct oblimin, the quartimin, and many other specialized othogonal and oblique rotations
control of the number of rotation cycles and the criterion for rotational convergence using the RITER= and the RCONVERGE= options
standard error estimates for the unrotated and various rotated solutions using the SE option under the maximum likelihood estimation (Archer and Jennrich 1973, Hayashi and Yung 1999, Jennrich 1973)
confidence intervals and coverage displays for the factor loadings, the factor correlations, and the factor structure loadings using the CI= option under the maximum likelihood estimation
control of the percentage coverage of the confidence interval using the ALPHA= option
