| FAiR-package {FAiR} | R Documentation |
This package estimates exploratory, confirmatory, and semi-exploratory factor
analysis models. It utilizes a genetic algorithm, genoud
for optimization, which makes semi-exploratory factor analysis possible and
permits new (and enhances old) techniques for transforming factors that are
extracted via exploratory factor analysis.

The two most important functions are Factanal and, in the case
of exploratory factor analysis, Rotate. Factanal
can also be used to estimate semi-exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis
models, in which case it is unnecessary and impossible to transform the factors.
There are a variety of S4 and S3 methods to facilitate the interpretation of
the results of Factanal and Rotate. The vignette
has additional information regarding the pop-up menus; execute
vignette("FAiR") to read it.
