Dear Jean-Benoit,
You might review the PRELIS and LISREL options for performing a factor analysis based on a polychoric and/or polyserial correlation matrix. They are marketed by Scientific Software Incorporated. The web site URL is http://www.ssicentral.com .

Subject: st: factor analysis on tetrachoric correlation
> Dear Statalisters,
>
> I search to realize a factor analysis on a specific correlation
> matrix (as the matrix of the tetrachoric coefficients). The factor
> program don't accept anothers matrix than the covariance or the
> correlation matrix. If anyone know a mean to realize this kind of
> analysis.
> I have search without success on the Stata documentation, on the
> FAQ, and on Google.
>
> Thank you for your help.
