orderFactors: Order factor-loadings matrix by the sum of squared factor loadings

Description

Order the columns of a factor loadings matrix in descending order based on the sum of squared factor loadings.

Usage

orderFactors(Lambda, PhiMat, salient = 0.29, reflect = TRUE)

Value

Returns the sorted factor loading and factor correlation matrices.

• Lambda: (Matrix) The sorted factor loadings matrix.

• Phi: (Matrix) The sorted factor correlation matrix.

Arguments

Lambda

(Matrix) Factor loadings matrix to be reordered.

PhiMat

(Matrix, NULL) Factor correlation matrix to be reordered.

salient

(Numeric) Indicators with loadings < salient will be suppressed when computing the factor sum of squares values. Defaults to salient = .29.

reflect

(Logical) If true, negatively-keyed factors will be reflected. Defaults to reflect = TRUE.
