Deprecated Exploratory Factor analysis functions. Please use fa

After 6 years, it is time to stop using these deprecated functions! Please see fa which includes all of the functionality of these older functions.

fa.poly(x,nfactors=1,n.obs = NA, n.iter=1, rotate="oblimin", SMC=TRUE,  missing=FALSE,
 impute="median", min.err = .001, max.iter=50, symmetric=TRUE, warnings=TRUE,
 fm="minres",alpha=.1, p =.05,scores="regression", oblique.scores=TRUE,
        weight=NULL,global=TRUE,...)  #deprecated
        
factor.minres(r, nfactors=1, residuals = FALSE, rotate = "varimax",n.obs = NA,
scores = FALSE,SMC=TRUE, missing=FALSE,impute="median",min.err = 0.001, digits = 2,
 max.iter = 50,symmetric=TRUE,warnings=TRUE,fm="minres")    #deprecated
