On varimax asymptotics in network models and spectral methods for dimensionality reduction
网络模型与谱降维方法中 varimax 旋转的渐近性质
Abstract Varimax factor rotations, while popular among practitioners in psychology and statistics since being introduced by Kaiser (1958), have historically been viewed with skepticism and suspicion by some theoreticians and mathematical statisticians. Now, work by Rohe & Zeng (2023) provides new, fundamental insight: varimax rotations provably perform statistical estimation in certain classes of latent variable models when paired with spectral-based matrix truncations for…
