Factor Analysis in R

I'm trying to get a better understanding on FA, hope you can take a look at this, my biggest problem is how to interpret FA model in R. My results look like this: What values in my results should I be looking at and what is a good indication of FA analysis? Call: factanal(x = m2, factors = 2) Uniquenesses: v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6 v7 v8 v9 v...

FA: Choosing Rotation matrix, based on "Simple Structure Criteria"

One of the most important issues in using factor analysis is its interpretation. Factor analysis often uses factor rotation to enhance its interpretation. After a satisfactory rotation, the rotated factor loading matrix L' will have the same ability to represent the correlation matrix and it can be used as the factor loading matrix, inst...
