Abstract: This is a user's guide for the DYNFAC package. A program written in GAUSS toestimate, by maximum likelihood in the time domain, DYNamic FACtor analytic modelswith one common factor (single-index models), by means of the Kalman filter.The underlying theory and methods are briefly explained. Esta es la guía de usuario del programa DYNFAC. Un programa escrito en lenguaje matricial GAUSS para estimar, por máxima verosimilitud en el dominio temporal, modelos FACtoriales DYNámicos con un factor común no observable, por medio del filtro de Kalman.La teoría y los métodos que forman la base del programa son explicados de forma concisa.
