Hi guys,

I used "gsem" commend and "predict, latent" to estimate factor scores and the factors scores were created and saved in the dataset directly. Does anyone know where stata is storing the loaing factors?
I want to double check if we can get the same F1 by using these 2 methods:
1). the linear combination using loading factors F1 = a0 + a1*X1 + a2*X2 + a3*X3 ( dont know how to find the loading factors)
2) the predict statement from gsem.

Thanks!
