Jensema, Carl; Urry, Vern W. – 1971
Procrustes rotation involves fitting a factor pattern matrix to a specified target matrix in factor analysis. These rotations are useful for the investigator who wishes to see how well his data can be made to fit a hypothesized factor pattern matrix. The mathematical problems involved in these transformations are outlined and computer algorithms…

Jensema, Carl – 1971
Under some circumstances, it is desirable to compare the factor patterns obtained from different factor analyses. To date, the best method of simultaneously achieving simple structure and maximum similarity is the technique devised by Bloxom (1968). This technique simultaneously rotates different factor patterns to maximum similarity and varimax…
