Hi Bill and Josh:
When I run any "principal" code with scores=TRUE, I get the following
Error:
Error in principal (my.data,3,scores=TRUE) : unused argument
(scores=TRUE)
Thoughts?
Your psych version (and probably also your R version) is outdated?
Please upgrade both R and your packages.

Thanks,

Shari,
Josh partly answered your question, but his example did not include
rotation because he took out just one factor.
Try:
require(psych)
mt.pc<- principal(mtcars,3,scores=TRUE) #this gives you the
varimax rotated first 3 principal components
#pc.scores<- mt.pc$scores #here are the scores
biplot(mt.pc) #show the data as well as the principal components
in a biplot

Hi Shari,
Yes, please look at the documentation for principal. You can access
this (assuming you have loaded psych) by typing at the console:
?principal
note the logical argument "scores".
Here is a small example:
##############################
require(psych)
require(GPArotation)
dat<- principal(mtcars[, c("mpg", "hp", "wt")], nfactors = 1,
rotate = "oblimin", scores = TRUE)
dat$scores
##############################
Cheerio,
Josh

I am running a PCA, but would like to rotate my data and limit the
number of factors that are analyzed. I can do this using the
"principal" command from the psych package [principal(my.data,
nfactors=3,rotate="varimax")], but the issue is that this does not
report scores for the Principal Components the way "princomp" does.
My question is:
Can you get an output of scores using "principal" OR, is there a way
to limit the number of factors that are included when you use
"princomp"?
