Emadoddin Ghazi

Dear Mosayeb;

"SmartPLS"

The reasons are as follows:

- Low number of statistical samples.

- Abnormal data.

- Creating both formative and reflective models.

- Complexity of the model (a large number of structures and indicators).

- Examining hypotheses include moderating variables.

- etc.

Usama Rehman

SPSS for EFA

Smartpls or Amos for CFA

Matthew Kerry

Agreed with Usama.

In Smartpls you can do model comparisons.
