- A Model of Text for Experimentation in the Social Sciences (2016, background): “…a number of successful solutions exist to mitigate the issue in practice, such as using multiple starting points, clever initialization, and procrustes transforms to identify and estimate a canonical element of the equivalence class of solutions (Hurley and Cattell 1962; Wallach et al. 2009b).”
