The eigenvalues are in the output: see the Model Summary Table (always displayed, even if /print none) under the heading "Variance Accounted For", subheading "Total (Eigenvalues)". Regards, Anita van der Kooij, Data Theory Scaling System Group, Leiden University.

I am familiarizing myself with CATPCA. Is there a way to have CATPCA produce eigenvalues so that I can can compare them to those from a PCA factor analysis of the same data. I have 14 dichotomous variables coded 1 for no and 2 for yes. (CATPCA does not like 0,1.) I have 51,000 cases.

So far I have this syntax what further specifications do I have to make? catpca variables = vr46 to vr59 /analysis = vr46 to vr59 (level=nume) /dimension = 3 /plot = loading ndim(1,3) /PRINT = none. catpca variables = vr46 to vr59 /analysis = vr46 to vr59 (level=nume) /dimension = 3 /plot = loading ndim(2,3) /PRINT = none.
