st: confirmatory factor analysis with binary variables

["Buckley, Gillian J." <gbuckley@jhsph.edu>]

Dear Statalist,

I am trying to do a confirmatory factor analysis on data that is all binary, 0=no, 1=yes.   I have downloaded the tertrachoric command and used this to find the tertrachoric correlations.  Is it possible to do confirmatory factor analysis with this data using the cfa1 command in Stata 9? If so, can anyone explain how?

Thank you!
Gillian
