Hello,

I am trying to conduct a factor analysis with dichtomous and continuous variables to reduce the total number of variables. I understood that this is possible with R but can you also perform this analysis using Eviews?
I would appreciate your help very much! Thank you :)

Not sure what exactly R is doing, but you can perform factor analysis in EViews with any variables for which you can compute a correlation/covariance matrix.

Correlations among nonmetric variables are already problematic. So, mixing metric variables with nonmetric variables in Factor analysis is not recommended if you want to avoid garbage in/ garbage out.
