R factor analysis issue dealing with NA -
i learning factor analysis, , have read there no way, in r, result data has na's in every row (even though row may have hundreds of complete datapoints). there way allow na's? dataset has @ least 1 na per row removing na's isnt option me. simple example of problem:
col1 col2 col3 .... 3 4 na .... 1 na na .... na 2 2 ....
my code:
#--------------------------------factor analysis-------------- #read in csv file data. stored in var called csv nums<-sapply(csv,is.numeric) num_only=csv[,nums] num_only=na.omit(num_only) matrix<-as.matrix(num_only) anal<-factanal(matrix,rotation="promax")
my error (occurs because removing na , non-numeric removes data matrix):
error in factanal(matrix, rotation = "promax") : factor analysis applies numerical variables
