Subject:      proc factor with missing data?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Does anyone know how to run an exploratory factor analysis presumably with PROC FACTOR that is able to deal with missing data? Is it possible to have output from PROC MI be read into PROC FACTOR? Or some other way of solving the problem? We are trying to do something similar as the following paper was able to do in SPSS.

We are assuming that if they could solve the problem in SPSS, then it should also be possible in SAS. TIA
