It’s important to note that, in some cases, any orthogonal matrix generated by permuting and/or flipping the signs of the columns of <span>(varvec{Q})</span> is sufficient; principal component analysis (PCA) is one such example. With this in mind, we propose a decomposition of <span>(varvec{Q})</span>, called LRDP, which allows control over the order and the sign of the columns. Due to its structure, our proposal enables the definition of simplified decompositions that can reproduce <span>(varvec{Q})</span> up to a permutation of the columns (LRD decomposition), up to a sign flip of the columns (LRP decomposition), or up to both (LR decomposition). Additionally, we introduce <b>LRDP</b>, an <span>R</span> package provided as supplementary material, specifically designed to implement our decomposition. We illustrate its functionality using a benchmark dataset from the PCA literature.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46107,"journal":{"name":"Afrika Matematika","volume":"36 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13370-025-01283-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143793067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
