Display factor loadings tables or graphs.
Syntax
factor_name.loadings(options)
factor_name.loadings(graph, options) [graph_list]
where the [graph_list] is an optional list of integers and/or vectors containing integers identifying the factors to plot. If graph_list is not provided, EViews will construct graphs using all of the retained factors.
Multiple pairs are handled using the method specified in the “mult=” option. Note that the order of elements in the list matters; reversing the order of two indices reverses the axis on which each factor is displayed.
Options
graph | Display graphs of the loadings (default is to display the loadings in a spreadsheet view). |
unrotated | Use the unrotated loadings (default is to use the rotated loadings, if available). |
prompt | Force the dialog to appear from within a program (for loadings graphs only) |
p | Print results. |
Graph Options
mult =arg (default=“first”) | Multiple series handling: plot first against remainder (“first”), plot as x-y pairs (“pair”), lower-triangular plot (“lt”). |
nocenter | Do not center graphs around the origin. By default, EViews centers biplots around (0, 0). |
Examples
f1.loadings
displays the spreadsheet view of the (possibly rotated) loadings.
f1.loadings(graph, unrotated) 1 2
displays an XY graph of the first two unrotated factor loadings.
