I know this isn't the right thread, but I don't think there is a "data science" thread.
I'm trying to do CFA in Python, I'm using Factor Analyzer to define my model, but I need to define residual correlations as well as my measurement model, and Factor Analyzer doesn't seem to be able to let me do that. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
I know I can use Lavaan in R, my behavioural scientist colleague has created that, but the dev I'm working with and my CTO are very tentative about trying to run R "in the cloud" and industrialise it in that way, so are keen for a Python solution instead.
