Generalized approaches to the Maxbet problem and the Maxdiff problem, with applications to canonical correlations (Q804162)

\textit{J. P. van der Geer} [ibid. 49, 70--94 (1984)] has reviewed various criteria for transforming two or more matrices to maximal agreement, subject to orthogonality constraints. The criteria have applications in the context of matching factor or configuration matrices and in the context of canonical correlation analysis for two or more matrices. The present paper summarizes and gives a unified treatment of fully general computational solutions for two of these criteria, Maxbet and Maxdiff.
