#' Eigenvalues from classical studies
#'
#'  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.
#'
#' Other datasets will be added in future versions of the package.
#'
#' @name dFactors
#' @docType data
#'
#' @format A list of examples. For each example, a list is also used to give the eigenvalues
#' vector and the number of subjects.
