Factor analysis: Factor scores

The factor scores are computed in two steps.
At first the factor score coefficients are computed by
/FCOEFF AFACT.M,MSN.M .
MSN.M is the matrix of means and stddevs obtained by CORR.
This gives the matrix of coefficients FCOEFF.M .

If an oblique rotation has been used, the loadings for the factor
scores are computed by
/FTCOEFF AFACT.M,TFACT.M,MSN.M .

Finally, factor scores are obtained by
LINCO <data>,FCOEFF.M(F1,F2,...)
where <data> is the original (or corresponding) Survo data (file)
and F1,F2 are (possibly new) variables for factor scores.
Thereafter, the factor scores can be analyzed like any other data
in Survo.
