Varimin - the program
The statistics program Varimin calculates PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and Varimax and Varimin rotations of initial (unrotated) factors. Its input may be raw data or intercorrelation matrices of variables. The program is dubbed Varimin even though Varimin rotation is only part of its performance.
