Summary for a Factor Analysis Object

DESCRIPTION:

Produces a summary that shows the importance of the factors, the uniquenesses, the degrees of freedom, and (optionally) the loadings.

USAGE:

summary.factanal(object, loadings=T, cutoff=0.1, ...) 

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:

object
an object of class "factanal".

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

loadings
a logical value or a number stating the number of components for which loadings will be given. If loadings is FALSE, then no loadings will be given.
cutoff
a number giving the cutoff for printing the loadings (see print.loadings).

VALUE:

an object of class "summary.factanal" having components:
varex
a matrix with rows containing the sum of squares of the loadings for each factor, the proportion of variance, and the cumulative proportion of variance.
uniquenesses
the uniquenesses of each variable.
dof
the degrees of freedom for the model.
loadings
the loadings matrix of object. This may be NULL depending on the value of the loadings argument.
cutoff
the input value of cutoff.

DETAILS:

This is the "factanal" method for the generic function summary.
