Title: Penalized Rotation of a Subset of Principal Components
Author(s): Trevor Park*+
Companies: University of Florida
Address: Department of Statistics, Gainesville, FL, 32611,
Keywords: penalized likelihood ; PCA
Abstract:

Traditional principal component rotation restricts the rotation to the span of a select subset of the original components. Since this subspace is subject to sampling variability, it may not capture anticipated features of the true components, and the rotation will be less effective. Penalty-based methods remove this restriction. A Bayesian-motivated penalized method will be described, along with computational details. This method preserves orthogonality, unlike many competing methods. Similar methodology can be applied to rotation in traditional factor analysis.
