Many thanks to Michael Weylandt and Prof. Ripley for answers to yesterday's query.
1. The response to methods(print) is that the print.princomp method is "non-visible," not "suppressed," as I misquoted. The method can be located by either getAnywhere(print.princomp) as suggested by Michael or by getS3method(f = 'print', class = 'factanal') as suggested by Prof. Ripley. I learn something new about R every day! 2. Prof. Ripley is correct, of course. To print out the test whether "The test of the hypothesis that X factors are sufficient." when submitting a covmat, the factanal function needs to know the n.obs. The following call, packaging n.obs with the covmat, worked perfectly: cor3.fa1 <- factanal(factors = 6, covmat = list(cov = cor3, n.obs = 418)) Again, thanks. Larry Hunsicker Prof. Medicine, U.
