confirmatory factor analysis - calculate the explained variance

[ablond]

Hi, 

I performed a confirmatory factor analysis with proc calis (see code below).

I also want to report the '% of the explained variance' for this model (as this was also reported in the same way by other papers). 

How can I calculate this explained variance? 

Many thanks!

Hello,

Please don't open the same topic twice in different boards. It will cause confusion and dilutes answer quality.

As "Statistical Procedures" is the right board, I refer everyone to the duplicate of this :
