Abstract
The real possibility for generating adequate transforming operators exists only if relatively homogeneous groups are determined and operators are generated according to the initial state vector of every group and the ideal final state vector of that group.
Because of some disadvantages of taxonomic methods which were proposed by Ward, Sokal, Cattell, Johnson, Friedman i Rubin, Hartigan, Momirović, Wee, Fukunaga and Koontz, Zahn and others, the ne methods is developed which determines taxonomic groups using direct oblimin transformation of original vectors, orthogonalised in any other way. Orthogonalised latent dimensions can be used as the basis of taxonomic method.
The essence of the method if transformation of normally distributed variables to the variables having Weibull distribution, with Weibull's parameter m as low as possible.
The method is suitable to determine objectively ans invariantly taxonomic groups as well as relations between these groups and relations between each entity and each of isolated group. The method also provides us with possibilities to determine directly the taxonomic group characteristic in manifest or latent space.
