- This is, indeed, true and I did check "plot factor loadings," but in my
- case, for reasons that have to do with the nature of my application, I
- need to plot the factor loadings against the variables.
-
- My variables happen to be a time series (digitized EEG) and there is a
- point, for me, in knowing which "factor" was active in which segment of
- the epoch.
-
- Obviously the trick I missed in my first attempt to use the program was
- that I assumed that Edit/Copy followed by Edit/Paste will work the way
- it does in Excel or QproWin. As the output data, however, exist as ascii
- representations on the displayed print out, they need to be parsed
- before they will become variables. I assume this is what Copy/Table
- does.
