I get the following error with the script:
fa.parallel(eser[,-1], fa="pc", n.iter=10,
show.legend=FALSE, main="Example Scree plot with parallel analysis")
Error in fa.parallel(eser[, -1], fa = "pc", n.iter = 10, show.legend =
FALSE, : object 'fa.values.sim' not found
What kind of object is fa.values.sim
? The scree plot, however, comes out correctly. Do you have an idea to help me fixing the error? I use Rstudio v0.97.310 under R v2.15.3
Thanks a lot for any help you might provide.

I have fixed this bug in the next release of psych package (1.3.6).
A request to all users of the psych package. If you find a bug, let me know. This is the best way to get them fixed.

I think this is a mistake in the function. You can read its source code by typing its name into the command line in R. Then you can search for all the occurences of fa.values.sim
. Every one of these is inside an if (fa != "pc")
statement. So when the function tries to assign results
, it can't because fa.values.sim
is indeed not defined if fa == "pc"
. But this error happens after the plot statement, so your plot is not affected.
To sum up, there is a bug in the code for fa.parallel
. If all you care about is the plot, you are indeed fine. You can ignore the error message.
If you really want the error message to disappear, change your command to:
fa.parallel(eser[,-1], fa="foo", n.iter=10,
show.legend=FALSE, main="Example Scree plot with parallel analysis")
This works because of the way the function happens to be written.
library(psych)
fa.parallel(USJudgeRatings[,-1], fa="PC", n.iter=100,
show.legend=FALSE, main="Scree plot with parallel analysis")
The above hung R for unknown reasons. Is there a bug? Thank you
