Calculates outer weights by estimating a common factor analysis model with a single factor for each
indicator block and using the resulting estimates to calculate factor score weights
Usage
outer.factor(S, W, E, W.mod, fm = "minres", ...)
Arguments
S
Covariance matrix of the data.
W
Weight matrix, where the indicators are on colums and composites are on the rows.
E
Inner weight matrix. A square matrix of inner estimates between the composites.
W.mod
A matrix specifying the weight relationships and their starting values.
fm
factoring method for estimating the common factor model. Possible values are
minres, wls, gls, pa, and ml. The parameter is passed through to
to fa<
...
Other parameters are ignored
Value
A matrix of unscaled outer weights W with the same dimesions as W.mod.
