dataframe - Factor Analysis in R, Error -
i have typed following command in r
factanal(td, factor = 10, rotation = "varimax", scores = "regression")
where td data frame containing 41 variables
i getting following error
error in factanal(td, factor = 10, rotation = "varimax", scores = "regression") : unable optimize starting value
can me error.
i have had same problem, found adding control argument "lower", specifies lower bound uniqueness (default = 0.005), helps!
for problem value of 0.00000001 gave results. afterwards, turned out had variables low values of uniqueness. might have created 4 dummies factor 4 levels, thereby creating redundancy.
so tips: 1. play lower argument 2. once works, check variables have low uniqueness, take them out of dataframe & run factor analysis again
