ABSTRACT

In the following sections we discuss computational issues of CFA. Specifically, we show how a CFA can be run on a PC. There are many programs available for CFA. Examples include the following:

Hammond’s CFA program (can be downloaded free from the web): https://www.liv.ac.uk/~pbarrett/programs.htm#CFA

Funke’s program, which is a module of the R package (can be downloaded free and used within the R-package which can also be downloaded free): https://www.stat.ufl.edu/svstem/man/R/librarv/cfa/html/cfa.htm

Lautsch and von Weber’s program: This program comes on a diskette with Lautsch and von Weber’s book on CFA (1995; in German).

Krauth and Hebben’s program: This program comes on a diskette with Krauth’s book on CFA (1993; in German).

Bergman and El-Khouri’s program (1998): This CFA program is part of the software package SLEIPNER for pattern-oriented analyses. It can be requested from bei@psvchology.su.se

Dunkl’s program (2000): This program comes in the form of a SAS module. It can be requested from dunkl@imerem.de

von Eye’s program CFA 2002 (2001): This FORTRAN program comes in the form of an executable file. It is gratis and can be requested from voneye@msu.edu
