Hi ,
I have a dataset of 3000 observations but the number of variables I want to run factor analysis on is more than 1000 based on which I want to create factors. Will SAS be capable of performing factor analysis on so many variables in one shot or is there some other way out?
Thanks in advance
Just worked for me with no problem. I suppose the answer depends on how much memory and other resources you have. It takes a few minutes to display all of the output. The computations are pretty fast.
data x;
array x[1000];
do i = 1 to 3000;
do j = 1 to 1000;
x[j] = normal(104);
end;
output;
end;
run;
proc factor;
run;
