ID # of individual factor scores

[cezre...@gmail.com]

After fitting a CFA model, we would like to get the individual factor scores.  We use the function predict(model) to get these scores.  However, we would also like as output the individual membership ID that is associated with each individual factor score.  This seems to be very easy; but we have not been able to figure out a way to output each person's ID# with the actual factor score.  We can get the ID# separately, and merge it with the factor score; but this seems like a less safe way to do it than having the joint ID# and factor score output.  Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Assuming you have no missing data (so everyone gets a factor score), you can submit your observed data as the "newdata" argument, so you know  the vector of factor scores is in the same order as the rows in your data.  Something like this:

myData$fs <-  predict(model, myData)

Thanks a bunch, Terry!
