Title

[R] surloads -- Surloads - Calculation of simple scores

Syntax for surloads

surloads

Description

surloads The program provides an alternative to calculating factor scores by the regression or Bartlett's method
if the researcher is not interested in the uniqueness factor of a variable.
Given the rotated loading matrix of a factor analysis, the surloads calculates simple scores and saves them as variables.
For each factor, the respective simple score is calculated as the sum of the products between a variable and its corresponding
loading on the factor.
