Abstract

Meredith developed a criterion for weighted procrustes rotation. The solution was given using Lagrange multipliers. We show that the solution can be obtained more simply, and that our approach enables us to transform the orthogonalization problem, also considered by Meredith, to that of minimizing a quadratic form on the unit sphere.
