Factor Analysis for Data

v0.9-3 · Aug 26, 2025 · GPL-3

Description

Compute maximum likelihood estimators of parameters in a Gaussian factor model using the the matrix-free methodology described in Dai et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2019.1704296>. In contrast to the factanal() function from 'stats' package, fad() can handle high-dimensional datasets where number of variables exceed the sample size and is also substantially faster than the EM algorithms.
