Factor Procedures
The factor procedures may be accessed either clicking on the button on the factor toolbar or by selecting from the main factor object menu, and selecting the desired procedure:
• is the main procedure for estimating the factor model. When selected, EViews will display the main dialog See
“Specifying the Model”.
• may be used to provide user-specified labels for the factors. By default, the factors will be labeled “F1” and “F2” or “Factor 1” and “Factor 2”, etc. To provide your own names, select and enter a list of factor names. EViews will use the specified names instead of the generic labels in table and graph output.
To clear a set of previously specified factor names, simply call up the dialog and delete the existing names.
• removes an existing rotation from the object.
