Any recommendation for a software to extract standard error for loadings other than R because I couldn't handle well, and robust statistics to decide between two competitive exploratory factor analysis methods.
EFA is a complex process which requires professional judgment. It is guided by a number of statistics, such as the total variance explained by the factors, the number of unique items loading on each factor, the size of their loadings, the size of the communalities, and the correlations within and between factors. It is important to choose an appropriate method. However, although the process is guided by certain principles, it is possible to arrive at different solutions.
