Rotation Methods

Orthogonal Rotation Methods lists the available orthogonal (that is, uncorrelated) rotation methods.

Orthogonal Rotation Methods
Method	SAS PROC FACTOR Equivalent
Varimax	ROTATE=ORTHOMAX with GAMMA = 1 Note: This is the default selection.
Biquartimax	ROTATE=ORTHOMAX with GAMMA = 0.5
Equamax	ROTATE=ORTHOMAX with GAMMA = number of factors/2
Factorparsimax	ROTATE=ORTHOMAX with GAMMA = number of variables
Orthomax	ROTATE=ORTHOMAX Or ROTATE=ORTHOMAX(p), where p is the orthomax weight or the GAMMA = value. Note: The default p value is 1 unless specified otherwise in the GAMMA = option. For additional information about orthomax weight, see the SAS documentation, “Simplicity Functions for Rotations.”
Parsimax	ROTATE=ORTHOMAX with GAMMA = where nvar is the number of variables, and nfact is the number of factors.
Quartimax	ROTATE=ORTHOMAX with GAMMA=0

Oblique Rotation Methods lists the available oblique (that is, correlated) rotation methods.

Oblique Rotation Methods
Method	SAS PROC FACTOR Equivalent
Biquartimin	ROTATE=OBLIMIN(.5) Or ROTATE=OBLIMIN with TAU=.5
Covarimin	ROTATE=OBLIMIN(1) Or ROTATE=OBLIMIN with TAU=1
Obbiquartimax	ROTATE=OBBIQUARTIMAX
Obequamax	ROTATE=OBEQUAMAX
Obfactorparsimax	ROTATE=OBFACTORPARSIMAX
Oblimin	ROTATE=OBLIMIN, where the default p value is zero, unless specified otherwise in the TAU= option. ROTATE=OBLIMIN(p) specifies p as the oblimin weight or the TAU= value. Note: For additional information about oblimin weight, see the SAS documentation, “Simplicity Functions for Rotations.”
Obparsimax	ROTATE=OBPARSIMAX
Obquartimax	ROTATE=OBQUARTIMAX
Obvarimax	ROTATE=OBVARIMAX
Quartimin	ROTATE=OBLIMIN(0) or ROTATE=OBLIMIN with TAU=0
Promax	ROTATE=PROMAX
