Hi,
I am new to Stata, so forgive me if my question is really vague.
I have been told to recreate the three factor CFA from this paper: https://peerj.com/articles/1312/. The ultimate goal is to be able to make a SEM equal to "Figure" 1 in this paper.
Under the "Exploratory factor analysis"-section, the authors say that they have used a maximum likelihood factor analysis with promax rotation. There are many tutorials explaining how to execute and interpret this in SPSS, but I can't find any for Stata.
So:
1) Does anyone have any idea how to do an MLFA with promax rotation? I see that Stata has a command called "rotate, promax oblique", but I find Statas instructions regarding execution and interpretation of this command hard to understand (http://www.stata.com/manuals13/mvrotate.pdf#mvrotate)
2) What do Stata mean when it says promax power? From manual: "we recommend that you keep the power in the range (1,4] and not restricted to integers. Specifying promax is equivalent to promax(3)."
Any tip or helping hand would be greatly appreciated.
