Hi all: I would like to obtain the standard error of the prediction (stdp)
for factor scores. My understanding is that factor scores are generated
through a regression technique, so it seems as though I should be able to
get stdp. However, when I use predict it tells me that the last estimates
are not found. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a workaround I could
use? Also, I am using Stata 8 where factor scores are obtained through the
score command. I understand that Stata 9 does this through predict - does
that mean 9 will do what I want more easily? Thanks for your help.
-Ken
