I'm back. Different issue: Factor scores

[Mark Levine]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't find an option to output factor 
scores in the FACTOR routine, as the regression routine outputs predicted 
values/residuals. Am I missing something? 

There are several different approaches but the Thurstone approach is pretty 
common and the matrix algebra (as I remember) not too tricky. I can find the 
matrix equations if that would help someone with coding chops. 

Short of that, I can approximate factor scores by summing/weighting scores on 
the key loading variables of each factor (transformed to standardized form).

Is there a simpler/better approach?

Cheers,

Mark
