Greetings, all:

I am using factanal in R.

When I enter a matrix or a formula, the print method winds up with something like this:

Test of the hypothesis that 6 factors are sufficient.
The chi square statistic is 28.1 on 22 degrees of freedom.
The p-value is 0.172

But when I enter a covmat, the print method winds up with something like this:

The degrees of freedom for the model is 22 and the fit was 0.0904

The actual factanal print method is suppressed, so I can't figure out how the two calculations are done, or how they relate to one another.  Can any of you help?

Many thanks in advance for any insight any of you can give me.
