MVA comes with R base. However, it is a seperate library. Libraries that
are not sent with base are available in Windows binaries on CRAN, but you do
not have to worry about that for MVA.
Type:
library()
and you will get a list of the available packages. To make MVA available
(i.e. load it), type:
library(mva)
then you can ask for, for example:
help (factanal)

I have installed R1.3.0 on my Windows system and have noted that MVA
is an add-on. The FAQ tells how to obtain these add-ons but only for
UNIX. Is this add-on actually available for Windows? If so, how do I
obtain it?
Thanks,
Peter
