Jane, >> Does someone know how to do fa and cfa with strong skewed data?
Your best option might be to use a robustly estimated covariance matrix as input (see packages robust/robustbase). Or you could turn to packages FAiR or lavaan (maybe also OpenMx). Or you could try soft modelling via package plspm.
