Maximum correlation rotation matrix

Description

Finds a rotation matrix with maximum correlation between the variables.

Usage

rotationmat.maxcor(p)

Arguments

p

Number of variables (rows/columns) required for the rotation matrix.

Details

Finding rotation matrices (approximately) maximising the correlations between the variables can be useful in some simulation study settings, for example when the purpose is to study the effect of high correlations on the performance of some statistical method.

Value

Returns the p x p square rotation matrix.
