FAiR (version 0.2-0)

classFA: Class "FA" and Classes that Inherit from "FA"

Description

These classes encapsulate estimates from factor analysis models. The "FA.general" and "FA.2ndorder" classes extend class "FA" and have additional slots to contain estimates from a second-order model with one general second-order factor and multiple second-order factors respectively

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("FA", ...). However, this use of new("FA", ...) is not recommended. Both Factanal and Rotate call new("FA", ...) internally to create the appropriate object for analysis with the help of the formal methods defined for create_FAobject.
