The factor object provides a number of views for examining the results of factor estimation and rotation. In addition to these views, EViews provides a number of object data members which allow you direct access to results.

For example, if you have an estimated factor object, FACT1, you may save the unique variance estimates in a vector in the workfile using the command:

The corresponding loadings may be saved by entering:

The rotated loadings may be accessed by:

The fitted and residuals matrices may be obtained by entering:
