When running a factor analysis by proc factor using methods other than principal components, sas is computing factor scores. Problem is, I cannot find what type of factor scores are being produced. Alternatives typically being the so-called regression method (or empirical Bayes predictor) or the Bartlett method. Does anyone now?
