I'm using R 2.8.0.
Is there a way of doing factor analysis with factanal() that keeps it
from scaling the covariance matrix?
Apparently, even if covmat=S is used, the function effectively
converts to a correlation matrix before doing the factor analysis.
This may be the best choice in most instances, but occasionally I'd
like to perform the analysis directly upon the covariance matrix itself.
Thanks.
