Arguments

mars_object

A fitted object returned by mars.

n_factors

Number of latent factors for EFA.

rotation

Rotation used by factanal.

num_obs

Optional sample size used by factanal. Defaults to mars_object$sample_size.

synthesis_method

Correlation synthesis method: "model", "average", or "weighted".

synthesis_transform

Optional pooling transform for "average"/"weighted": "none" or "fisher_z".

missing_corr

Missing-correlation handling for synthesized matrices: "available", "pairwise", or "em".

attenuation

Attenuation-correction mode for synthesized correlations: "none" or "correct".

reliability

Reliability input used when attenuation = "correct".

reliability_missing

Strategy for missing reliability values: "error", "skip", "impute_mean", or "assume_1".

pd_adjust

Positive-definite repair for synthesized correlations: "none", "eigen_clip", or "nearpd".

pd_tol

Minimum eigenvalue tolerance used by pd_adjust = "eigen_clip".

Additional arguments passed to factanal.

Value

An object of class efa_mars.
