Hi every body 
I want to run a
factor analysis on a set of variables which consists of both continuous and
categorical variables.
I have found out
that mca (Multiple Correspondence Analysis) and pca (Principal Component Analysis)
are suitable for categorical and continuous data types respectively.  
I was wondering if
there is command in Stata which can consider mixed variables (continuous and
discrete).
It is noteworthy to
mention that R has a function called "AFDM" in package "FactoMiner"
which can run Factor analysis for mixed data. 
I would appreciate
if you could help me with this.

Regards,
MP
