<div>Dear all,</div><div><br></div><div>I have used function <b>eofunc_varimax </b>to obtain rotated EOFs of my data, but there are some questions
as follow that I would like to clarify :<br></div><div><br></div><div>(a) There are three options to choose by setting up <i>optEVX as</i><br></div><div> 0 => do nothing; use the normalized eigenvectors directly.</div><div> 1 => scale the normalized eigenvectors by the square root of the
associated eigenvalue and return normalized eigenvectors.<br></div><div> <br></div><div> -1 => same as <em>optEVX</em>=1 but returns the scaled rotated eigenvectors.
</div><div><br></div><div>My comprehension is that, by setting up <i>optEVX </i>as 1 or -1, it first <b>denormalizes</b> the input EOF calculated by function <b>eofunc</b> (since by default, the output of <b>eofunc </b>is normalized EOF). Is my understanding correct?</div><div><br></div><div>(b) By setting <i>optEVX = 1</i>,
the output rotated EOF is normalized by dividing with square root of
corresponding rotated eigenvalues, while it is not normalized if
setting <i>optEVX = -1</i></div><div><br></div><div>(c) How does the <b>varimax_variance </b>and corresponding <b>percent variance explained</b> are calculated? I have read the reference textbook Statistical Method in Atmospheric Sciences but still can't find the answer.<br></div><div><br></div><div>It would be a great help if anyone who has experience in performing REOF and this function could guide me :)</div><div><br></div><div>Really appreciate your help.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div>
