Greetings, all:
I am using factanal in R.
When I enter a matrix or a formula, the print method winds up with something
like this:
Test of the hypothesis that 6 factors are sufficient.
The chi square statistic is 28.1 on 22 degrees of freedom.
The p-value is 0.172
But when I enter a covmat, the print method winds up with something like this:
The degrees of freedom for the model is 22 and the fit was 0.0904
The actual factanal print method is suppressed, so I can't figure out how the
two calculations are done, or how they relate to one another. Can any of you
help?
No, it is not. You can find it by getS3method, for example.
Many thanks in advance for any insight any of you can give me.
To do the tests you need the number of observations. I expect you used
'covmat' incorrectly, but you were too unhelpful to actually show us
what you did.
