""" =============================================================== Factor Analysis (with rotation) to visualize patterns =============================================================== Investigating the Iris dataset, we see that sepal length, petal length and petal width are highly correlated. Sepal width is less redundant. Matrix decomposition techniques can uncover these latent patterns. Applying rotations to the resulting components does not inherently improve the predictive value of the derived latent space, but can help visualise their structure; here, for example, the varimax rotation, which is found by maximizing the squared variances of the weights, finds a structure where the second component only loads positively on sepal width.
