afa command by Boermans & Kattenberg (2011)

[Shannon Runge]

Good afternoon,

I came across an article by Boermans & Kattenberg (2011) titled: "Estimating reliability coefficients with heterogenous item weighting using Stata: A factor based approach" and would very much like to apply the "afa" command to my own EFA analyses. However, I can't seem to find the program using any search function in Stata. The reference is listed in the SSC archive (https://ideas.repec.org/p/use/tkiwps...tml#statistics), but there are no help or .ado files. Does this mean the program is no longer available, or am I simply not looking in the correct place?

Thanks!

The URL you cite is not part of SSC, although it is in a sister website. It seems that you need to email the author(s) to enquire about the program, as it has not been published either through SSC or the Stata Journal.
