The GenDataSample() and GenDataPopulation() functions create, respectively, a sample or population of multivariate nonnormal data using methods described in Ruscio and Kaczetow (2008). Both of these functions call a FactorAnalysis() function to reproduce a correlation matrix. The EFACompData() function allows users to determine how many factors to retain in an exploratory factor analysis of an empirical data set using a method described in Ruscio and Roche (2012). The latter function uses populations of comparison data created by calling the GenDataPopulation() function. <DOI: 10.1080/00273170802285693>. <DOI: 10.1037/a0025697>.
