Library: stats
See also: pca draftman

Quantlet: factor
Description: factor performs a Factor Analysis for x (principal component, principal axes). For each method you can interactively between two different criteria for the factors. At the end you get a draftman plot of the the chosen factors.

Usage: factor (x)
Input:
x n x p matrix

Example:
; loads the library stats
library("stats")
; load library graphic
library("graphic")
; read swiss banknote data
x = read("bank2")
; interactive factor analysis
factor(x)

Result:
The program generates two displays. One shows a
scatterplot matrix of X. The second shows at the top
a parallel coordinate plot of gamma (matrix of the
evec) and at the bottom the communalties and so on.
