varimax | R Documentation |
These functions ‘rotate’ loading matrices in factor analysis.
varimax(x, normalize = TRUE, eps = 1e-5) promax(x, m = 4)
x |
A loadings matrix, with p rows and k < p columns |
m |
The power used the target for |
normalize |
logical. Should Kaiser normalization be performed?
If so the rows of |
eps |
The tolerance for stopping: the relative change in the sum of singular values. |
These seek a ‘rotation’ of the factors x %*% T
that
aims to clarify the structure of the loadings matrix. The matrix
T
is a rotation (possibly with reflection) for varimax
,
but a general linear transformation for promax
, with the
variance of the factors being preserved.
