Procrustes: A python library to find transformations that maximize the similarity between matrices

We have developed Procrustes, a free, open-source, cross-platform, and user-friendly Python library implementing a wide-range of algorithmic solutions to Procrustes problems. The goal of Procrustes analysis is to find an optimal transformation that makes two matrices as close as possible to each other, where the matrices are often (but need not always be) a list of multidimensional points specifying the systems of interest. We demonstrate the …
