PCA analysis and bootstraped loadings
psych does not currently have bootstrapped confidence intervals for loadings. That is a reasonable request and I will try to add it, perhaps in the ?real soon now? version of 1.5.4 (almost finished), perhaps in the next release, Bill

Dear All,
I am relatively new in R.
Im working with the 'psych' package and 'principal' function.
I would like to know how to generate the bootstraped conf.intervals for
loadings,
looking for sth similar to setting 'n.iter' argument for the 'fa' function.
If in 'psych' can't work and suggest me the 'boot' package please provide
specific Rscript since I don't understand the commands and arguments that
have to be used before calling the function 'boot'( what are indices? what
to define as what inside function(){})
The names Im using are included in the following code:
'newdata3.1' is my data and provided as data.frame
makingtheanalysis3.1 <-principal(newdata3.1, nfactors =3,
residuals = FALSE,
covar=FALSE,rotate="varimax",scores=TRUE)
I am sorry for not providing a specific code but my data are too large
Any Help appreciated
Cheers!
