MAXITER Subcommand (CATPCA command)

MAXITER specifies the maximum number of iterations that the procedure can go through in its computations. If not all variables are specified as NUME and/or MNOM, the output starts from iteration 0, which is the last iteration of the initial phase, in which all variables except MNOM variables are treated as NUME.

• If MAXITER is not specified, the maximum number of iterations is 100.
• The specification on MAXITER is a positive integer indicating the maximum number of iterations. There is no uniquely predetermined (that is, hard-coded) maximum for the value that can be used.
