Boolean factor analysis certainly presents an interesting alternative
for those occasions when we have nothing in the data set but
dichotomies.  In my experience, however, such cases are rare.  It is far
more common for me to have a few or many dichotomous variables mixed in
with continuous data.  My current data set includes dichotomous,
interval, and ratio measures.  Please do send on the details, however.
I'm always looking to expand the toolbox.
