FinTS_0.3-1
Hi, All: FinTS version 0.3-1 is now available on CRAN. This version adds a function 'apca' for "Asymptotic Principal Components Analysis", as discussed in Tsay (2005) Analysis of Financial Time Series, 2nd ed. (Wiley, sec. 9.6), in addition to minor improvements in the partially complete scripts for chapters 3 and 9. Spencer Graves __________________________________...

Factor analysis and cfa with asymptotically distributed data
I have friendship data which is strong skewed. So it doesn't make sense to use maximum likelihood methods for fa and cfa. But I couldn't find any function for asymptotically distributed data for doing a factor analysis. Only: apca() but there is no possibility to allow for factor correlations. The same problem is with sem() I couldn't get any solutions for my model because of the distribution. I get the error: In sem.default(ram = ram, S = S, N = N, param.names = pars, var.names = vars, : Could not compute QR decom...

function to create multiple matrices
Hi All, If given a dataframe (long form) with Year, Species, and Location, How would I write a function that would create a unique matrix of Species & Location for each Year? What I've tried doing is the following: data #dataframe dataT<-table(data$Species,data$Location,data$Year) #creates tables of Species vs Location for each Year But I'm encountering issues individually
