In factor analysis, the final matrix is rotated for the "factor solution." Does anyone have the SPSS (21.0) code to rotate a factor matrix? The traditional statistical packages do not provide this solution; thus, one has to write the rotation code.
Here is an example of SPSS code that asks for varimax rotation:
FACTOR
/VARIABLES Q32A Q32B Q32C Q32D Q32E Q32F Q32G
/MISSING PAIRWISE
/ANALYSIS Q32A Q32B Q32C Q32D Q32E Q32F Q32G
/PRINT INITIAL EXTRACTION ROTATION
/CRITERIA MINEIGEN(1) ITERATE(25)
/EXTRACTION PC
/CRITERIA ITERATE(25)
/ROTATION VARIMAX
/METHOD=CORRELATION.
The second from the last line is where you specify a rotation method. Other options would be:
For quartimax rotation it would be:
/ROTATION QUARTIMAX
For equimax rotation it would be:
/ROTATION EQUAMAX
For direct oblimin rotation, you also need to put in the delta, so (for example) for a delta of -1, it would be:
/CRITERIA ITERATE(25) DELTA(-1)
/ROTATION OBLIMIN
And for promax rotation, you need to tell SPSS your kappa value, so for a Kappa of 4 you would have:
/ROTATION PROMAX(4)
In each case, the rotation subcommand comes before the method subcommand.
Thank you for the update on rotation. The latest versions of programs often don't support previous versions.
