Psychometrics

an orthogonal factor rotation that maximises the variance of squared loadings within each factor so each variable loads highly on as few factors as possible.

In psychometrics, varimax rotation refers to an orthogonal factor rotation that maximises the variance of squared loadings within each factor so each variable loads highly on as few factors as possible. This meaning comes from Kaiser (1958) in Psychometrika.[1]
