[R] About Factor Analysis

[E D. Isaia]

Hello,

I' doing some simulation on (confirmatory) factor analysis on a 
covariance matrix and I resort to factanal() function, which works fine 
but it performs only the maximum-likelihood method of extracting factors.
I wonder if (and where) I can find a package that performs the principal 
axis factor (PAF) procedure for extracting factors.

Thanks in advance to all, ennio.
