[R] Is it possible to run factor analysis on categorical data.

[mylisttech at gmail.com]

Dear Rexperts,

I tried running factanal on a group and variables ( all categorical datas ) and I learnt that's not possible , at least by using factanal. Can I use FactoMineR for MFA ? Does it do the same thing as factor analysis.

Thanks in advance for the help,
Harmeet
