summary.FA-class: Class "summary.FA"

In FAiR: Factor Analysis in R

Description

It is not necessary to understand this help page if one merely wants to estimate a factor analysis model. This help page is intended for those who want to modify or extend FAiR or otherwise want some idea of how FAiR works “behind the scenes”.

This class holds the output when summary is called on an object of FA-class

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("summary.FA", ...). However, rarely if ever, would a user need to construct an object this way. The summary method does so internally.

Slots

restrictions:

Object of restrictions-class

draws:

List (possibly of empty) of arrays produced by a possible call to FA2draws

order:

An integer vector of the same length as the number of first-order factors that can be used to reorder the factors when printed to the screen

orthogonal:

A logical indicating whether the factors are orthogonal

polarity:

An integer vector of the same length as the number of first-order factors whose elements are either 1 or -1 that can be used to change the direction of one or more factors (after they have been reordered)

conf.level:

A number between zero and one exclusive that governs the bounds of the confidence intervals

standardized:

A logical that indicates whether the estimates are standardized to the correlation metric or unstandardized on the covariance metric

call:

The call to Factanal.

Methods

show

signature(object = "summary.FA"): Prints the summary on the screen

plot

signature(x = "summary.FA", y = "ANY"): Produces a heatmap
