Creating scree plot before or after varimax rotation

I have the results for a PCA with varimax rotation, but I can only figure out how to make a scree plot for the PCA without rotation (using the scree function on the original data). … Should I be trying to make a scree plot that includes the varimax rotation? Or is it typical to only generate scree plots that do not include a rotation? If this is typical, how do I do this? …

Scree plot: $m$ vs $m-1$ components/factors

@ttnphns comments here that there exist two expositions of the Cattell scree-plot rule: If the "elbow" is the m-th eigenvalue, (1) choose to extract m components; or (2) choose to extract m-1 components … from says "The scree plot confirms the choice of three components." …

How to make a scree plot out of SVD data

V1 and V2 are first and second column of V In order to plot a scree plot: I squared the S and plotted (i,i) element of S^2 with respect to 'i'. … I can rephrase the question as below : Can I take the square of diagonal elements of (S) matrix as variance so that I can use it as the y axis of the scree plot. …

Determining number of clusters with SSE scree plot with Gower's coefficient of similarity

I am interested in first using an average linkage algorithm, and have found that some have recommended looking for the 'elbow' in the sum of squared error (SSE) scree plot as a guideline for deciding how … I was wondering if the Gower's similarity coefficient (being non-metric and non-Euclidean) would allow me to create an SSE scree plot, or if that didn't make sense statistically. …

Interpretation of Scree plots and Boruta Outcomes

However, when I am plotting the scree plot of my dataset in R, then I am getting the "elbow" right after the first component. Does it mean only the first component is enough? …

factor analysis, eigenvalues vs. squared factor loadings vs. scree plot eigenvalues [duplicate]

Scree plot I prepared and I did the factor analysis for different number of factors from 1 to 9 with 2 different rotations: varimax and oblimin. So far so good. … Elbow method suggested 2 factors, eigenvalues on the scree plot were higher than 1 only for 1 factor. …

Is it a good idea to use log scale on scree plots for PCA/ICA/FA?

I always found the concept of determining the "ideal" number of components/factors for an ICA/PCA/FA via a scree plot useful and quick, but also a bit shaky. … In an effort to try to make the scree plot "elbow" more obvious (and without trying to fit a function to the scree plot data points). …

But in the scree plot there is no elbow at all, just a decreasing line, that makes me think maybe I shouldn't be using PCA. … Could you help me to know, first if I'm using the right model if in the scree plot there is no elbow and, second how can I check how many factors I have? …
