loadings
Display factor loadings tables or graphs.
Syntax
factor_name.loadings(options)
factor_name.loadings(graph, options) [graph_list]
where the [graph_list] is an optional list of integers and/or vectors containing integers identifying the factors to plot. If graph_list is not provided, EViews will construct graphs using all of the retained factors.
Multiple pairs are handled using the method specified in the “mult=” option. Note that the order of elements in the list matters; reversing the order of two indices reverses the axis on which each factor is displayed.
Options
 
graph
Display graphs of the loadings (default is to display the loadings in a spreadsheet view).
unrotated
Use the unrotated loadings (default is to use the rotated loadings, if available).
prompt
Force the dialog to appear from within a program (for loadings graphs only)
p
Print results.
Graph Options
 
mult =arg (default=“first”)
Multiple series handling: plot first against remainder (“first”), plot as x-y pairs (“pair”), lower-triangular plot (“lt”).
nocenter
Do not center graphs around the origin. By default, EViews centers biplots around (0, 0).
Examples
f1.loadings
displays the spreadsheet view of the (possibly rotated) loadings.
f1.loadings(graph, unrotated) 1 2
displays an XY graph of the first two unrotated factor loadings.
