Title: K-Fold Cross Validation for Factor Analysis
Version: 0.2.2
Author: Kyle Nickodem [aut, cre] and Peter Halpin [aut]
Maintainer: Kyle Nickodem <kyle.nickodem@gmail.com>
Description: Provides functions to identify plausible and replicable
        factor structures for a set of variables via k-fold cross
        validation. The process combines the exploratory and
        confirmatory factor analytic approach to scale development
        (Flora & Flake, 2017) <doi:10.1037/cbs0000069> with a cross
        validation technique that maximizes the available data (Hastie,
        Tibshirani, & Friedman, 2009) <isbn:978-0-387-21606-5>. Also
        available are functions to determine k by drawing on power
        analytic techniques for covariance structures (MacCallum,
        Browne, & Sugawara, 1996) <doi:10.1037/1082-989X.1.2.130>,
        generate model syntax, and summarize results in a report.
