Thank you for this helpful tutorial. I performed a factor analysis along with a parallel analysis, using an oblimin rotation. I have a 6 factors solution. I would like to compute the eigenvalues of each rotated factor. My understanding is that they are different from the ones reported at the beginning of the output (EIGENVALUES FOR SAMPLE CORRELATION MATRIX), as factors are unrotated. is there the possibility to have the eigenvalues for the rotated factors in Mplus?
I'm not sure this is available in Mplus. I would ask the Mplus support team (support@statmodel.com). If you do receive an answer from them, I'd appreciate you sharing it here! Thank you, Christian Geiser
The lavaan package in R has a lot of the same functions as Mplus. See my TH-cam video here: th-cam.com/video/D4SIgRXt9rw/w-d-xo.html Also, JASP is a free no-code alternative (that uses lavaan in the background). I will publish several videos on how to use JASP for EFA, CFA, SEM, and path analysis in the next few weeks here on TH-cam so be sure you subscribe to this channel! Best, Christian Geiser
Thank you so much. So helpful.

If we do not utilize mplus, are there comparable open source programs you can recommend?
