screePlot generates a scree plot with superimpose parallel analysis

screePlot(data, n.iter = 50, method = c("pc", "pa", "ml"), ...)

Arguments

data

a data frame or correlation matrix.

n.iter

number of iterations for parallel analysis.

method

factoring method (pc, pa, or ml).

...

parameters passed to psych::fa.parallel.

Value

a ggplot2 graph

Details

The screePlot function is a wrapper for the psych::parallel function. A ggplot2 graph is produced with the scree plot and parallel analysis (scree plot for simulated data) based on the method chosen. The methods are principal components ("pc"), principal axis ("pa"), and maximum likelihood ("ml") factoring.

Examples

screePlot(Harman74.cor$cov, method="pc", n.obs=145)
#> 
#> Note: parallel analysis suggests 3 components.
