--=-hiYzUeWcRJ/+kx41aPIZ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi, on March 10 I filed a wishlist bug report asking for the inclusion of some changes to factanal() and the associated print method. The changes were originally proposed by John Fox in 2005; they make print.factanal() display factor correlations if factanal() is called with rotation =

I was wondering whether the following inconsistency of the promax rotation function with the results of a promax rotation using SAS should be considered a bug in the promax function of R. Any comments will be highly appreciated. The following is a loading matrix obtained from a varimax rotation in SAS: # Factor loadings after varimax rotation x <- t(array(c(0.78107, 0.35573,

# I have a question about how factanal is calculating the regression factor # scores based on an oblique rotation (promax) of the factors. # # As is explained in the help file, regression factor scores are # obtained as # # hat f = Lambda' Sigma^-1 x # # However, according to Harman's "Modern Factor Analysis" (e.g. second # edition, pp. 351-352) the formula is # # hat f = Phi

Dear R-devel list members, Ben Fairbank draw it to my attention that factanal() (in the stats package) doesn't report factor correlations for oblique rotations. Looking at the source, I see that factanal also doesn't save the factor-transformation (rotation) matrix from which these correlations can be computed. I've modified the source, attached below, so that the transformation

In some documentation for a package I am working on I have > \code{\link[stats]{varimax}} > \code{\link[stats]{promax}} The link to varimax works, but not the one to promax. Promax is an alias under \name{varimax}. This kind of link works within a package, but I'm not sure if it is suppose to work when it is a link to another package. Is this a known limitation or bug, or

Hi, I found a discrepancy between results in R and Stata for a factor analysis with a promax rotation. For Stata: . *rotate, factor(2) promax* (promax rotation) Rotated Factor Loadings Variable | 1 2 Uniqueness -------------+-------------------------------- pfq_amanag~y | -0.17802 0.64161 0.70698 pfq_bwalk_~ø | 0.72569 0.05570

Full_Name: conor dolan Version: 1.4.0 OS: windows98 Submission from: (NULL) (146.50.170.247) On the basis of Lawley and Maxwell's explanation in Factor Analysis as a Statistical Method (London: Butterworth, 1971), the following line in the promax routine (library, mva): attr(z, "covariance") <- crossprod(U) should be attr(z, "covariance") <- solve(crossprod(U))

I am performing a large (105 variable) factor analysis with factanal, specifying promax rotation. I kow that some loadings over 1.0 are not unsual with that rotation, but I have some as large as 1.2, which seems extreme. I am skirting the assumptions of the model by using responses on a 7-point rating scale as data; I may have to go back and compute polychoric correlations instead of product

Hello I seem to find only two types of rotation for the factanal function in R, the Varimax and Promax, but is it possible to run a orthogonal and oblique rotations in R? Thanks in advance Rosario

Hi, In a discussion of factor analysis in "Using Multivariate Statistics" by Tabachnick and Fidell, two matrices are singled out as important for interpreting an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with an oblique promax rotation. One is the "structure matrix". The structure matrix contains the correlations between variables and factors. However, these correlations may be

Hi, I am puzzeled with a differing result of princomp in R and FACTOR in SPSS. Regarding the amount of explained Variance, the two results are the same. However, the loadings differ substantially, in the unrotated as well as in the rotated form. In both cases correlation matrices are analyzed. The sums of the squared components is one in both programs. Maybe there is an obvious reason, but I

In comparing the results of princomp and prcomp I find: 1. The reported standard deviations are similar but about 1% from each other, which seems well above round-off error. 2. princomp returns what I understand are variances and cumulative variances accounted for by each principal component which are all equal. "SS loadings" is always 1. 3. Same happens

Dear R users, I have been doing rotation on Principal components analyse, with varimax function and promax. Following those changes, I cannot find now how to get the spatial evolution and the variance. Indeed, with the function princomp that has been used to get the principal components, arguments such as $scores and $sdev were available to get the spatial evolution and the variance, with

Dear R users, I have been doing some eof analysis using princomp function, then the eof results were rotated with varimax and promax functions. Those functions are working fine. However, after their uses, I cannot find how to obtain the temporal evolution and the variance of the obtain components, as varimax and promax does not have the arguments $scores and $sdev. If any body, know how to

Hello So how did it happen that the only project which was a candidate for libJIT Summer of Code in GNU, with the same title got selected in LLVM? Does it mean that the same genius idea came to two minds? Thanks, Kirill -- http://code.google.com/p/libjit-linear-scan-register-allocator/

Hi, I am learining how to use R, specifically the princomp() function, and I am trying to replicate the results I get in SPSS with no luck, can anyone give me the equivalent options in SPSS' factor analysis routine?

Dear R-helpers: I am interested in discretization methods for numerical attributes, as they are reported in the 'machine learning' community. For example, the work of Fayyad & Irani (IJCAI-93), Kononenko, entropy-based approaches, MDL principle, the C4.5 approach, etc. I am especially interested in those methods that take a factor as goal target into account for discretizing
