I am a beginner when it comes to using R, though fortunately I already know something about statistics. I think factor analysis should be used sparingly, but I occasionally use it. It doesn't seem to me that factanal() provides Kaiser's Measure of Sampling Adequacy, which should be computed for factor problems based on a small number of subjects, though perhaps it is elsewhere. Does anyone know? (Better yet, is there a complete list of procedures that can be performed by all available packages?)

I have coded MSA in C++, so I could add it if it is not yet available. In that case I suppose I should find out how to submit it.
