How can I create a parallel analysis scree in R?

EFA Before Scree Plot

I have done the work of performing exploratory factor analysis on the data:

fa3 <- fa(hwk2,
   nfactors = 3,
   n.obs = 93,
   rotate = "oblimin",
   max.iter = 100)
fa3

Which gives me this:

Basic Scree

Making a normal scree plot from there is quite simple. I just add this to my script:

scree(hwk2,
      pc=T,
      factors = F,
      main = "Scree Plot of Eigenvalues")

Which creates this:

What I Want

However, I want to graph simulated parallel analysis with it. In Jamovi this is super easy to accomplish:

enter image description here

However, I don't see an option for this so far. There is another version of scree I have tried fa.parallel but the legend comes out really strange:

fa.parallel(
  hwk2,
  n.obs = 93,
  fm = "minres",
  nfactors = 3,
  main = "Parallel Analysis Scree Plots",
  n.iter = 100,
  error.bars = FALSE,
  se.bars = FALSE,
  SMC = FALSE,
  ylabel = NULL,
  show.legend = F,
  sim = TRUE,
  quant = .95,
  use = "pairwise",
  plot = TRUE,
  correct = .5
)

I get either this if I remove the legend:

enter image description here

Or I get this annoying one with the legend:

enter image description here

Basically, I just need factor analysis and don't need principal components in the plot, but I can't figure out how to remove it.


Solution

  • The only problem is that there are Heywood cases, so the fa analysis isn't trustworthy.

    library(psych)
    
    fa.parallel(
      hwk2,
      n.obs = 93,
      fa = "fa",                # you want only "fa", not "pc"
      show.legend = TRUE,       # show legend
      fm = "minres",
      nfactors = 3,
      main = "Parallel Analysis Scree Plots",
      n.iter = 100,
      error.bars = FALSE,
      se.bars = FALSE,
      SMC = FALSE,
      ylabel = NULL,
      sim = TRUE,
      quant = .95,
      use = "pairwise",
      plot = TRUE,
      correct = .5
    )
