function a_factors_db = factoran(db, num_factors, props)
% factoran - Generates a database of factor loadings obtained from the
% factor analysis of db with factoran. Each row corresponds
% to a rotated factor and columns represent observed variables.
%
% Usage:
% a_factors_db = factoran(db, num_factors, props)
%
% Description:
% Uses the promax method to rotate common factors.
%
% Parameters:
% db: A tests_db object.
% num_factors: Number of common factors to look for.
% props: A structure with any optional properties.
%
% Returns:
% a_factors_db: A corrcoefs_db of the coefficients and page indices.
%
