ey man!! you need to change the format of your data as matrix data - as.matrix(correlation_data) solucion - factanal(covmat = data, factors=2) that´s all!!! enjoy Rafael Ch. -- View this message in context:

Hi Matt, Did you try reading the documentation for factanal()? You can pull it up by typing: help(factanal) These give basically identical results using the raw data, the covariance matrix, and the correlation matrix. factanal(x = mtcars, factors = 3) factanal(factors = 3, covmat =
