## Example data set from Gorsuch (1997) for an example factor extension.

### Description

Gorsuch (1997) suggests an alternative to the classic Dwyer (1937) factor extension technique. This data set is taken from that article. Useful for comparing link{fa.extension} with and without the correct=TRUE option.

### Usage

data(Gorsuch)

### Details

Gorsuc (1997) suggested an alternative model for factor extension. His method is appropriate for the case of repeated variables. This is handled in link{fa.extension} with correct=FALSE

### Examples

data(Gorsuch)Ro <- Gorsuch[1:6,1:6]
Roe <- Gorsuch[1:6,7:10]
fo <- fa(Ro,2,rotate="none")
fa.extension(Roe,fo,correct=FALSE)
