Hello all.
I am attempting to obtain bootstrapped estimates of factor
loadings for an EFA that I’ve conducted previously. I am working from a
syntax file available at:
http://www.coe.tamu.edu/~bthompson/datasets.htm#1
While attempting to run the syntax in SPSS v17, I’ve
encountered the following error message: “You have attempted to use a SET
subcommand which is obsolete. Text: journal”. From what I can gather, it
is due to something in the second to last line (!boot nb=1000) shown below. I
want to conduct 1000 re-estimates of the factor loadings. Is this an obsolete subcommand?
And, if so, could someone please direct me to the correct subcommand.
Thanks in advance,
Matt.
