statsmodels.multivariate.factor_rotation.target_rotation(A, H, full_rank=False)
[source]
Analytically performs orthogonal rotations towards a target matrix, i.e., we minimize:
where \(T\) is an orthogonal matrix. This problem is also known as an orthogonal Procrustes problem.
Under the assumption that \(A^*H\) has full rank, the analytical solution \(T\) is given by:
see Green (1952). In other cases the solution is given by \(T = UV\), where \(U\) and \(V\) result from the singular value decomposition of \(A^*H\):
see Schonemann (1966).
