Display residual covariance estimates for the factor analysis object.
Syntax
factor_name.resids(options)
By default, the residuals are computed by subtracting the estimate of the common variance and the final uniqueness estimates from the observed covariance matrix. You may use the “common” option to only subtract the common variance.
Options
common | Display the residuals computed using only the common fitted covariance. |
p | Print the matrix. |
Examples
factor f1.pfact x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8
f1.resids
estimates and displays the residuals for a factor analysis model applied to the series X1 to X8.
f1.resids(common)
displays the residuals computed without subtracting the uniqueness estimates.
