\usage{
dFactors
}
\description{
Classical examples of eigenvalues vectors used to study the number of factors
 to retain in the litterature. These examples generally give the number of
 subjects use to obtain these eigenvalues.
 The number of subjects is used with the parallel analysis.
}
\details{
Other datasets will be added in future versions of the package.
