Procrustes Analysis with NumPy?

I'm not aware of any pre-existing implementation in Python, but it's easy to take a look at the MATLAB code using edit procrustes.m and port it to Numpy:

def procrustes(X, Y, scaling=True, reflection='best'):
    """
    A port of MATLAB's `procrustes` function to Numpy.

    Procrustes analysis determines a linear transformation (translation,
    reflection, orthogonal rotation and scaling) of the points in Y to best
    conform them to the points in matrix X, using the sum of squared errors
    as the goodness of fit criterion.

        d, Z, [tform] = procrustes(X, Y)

    Inputs:
    ------------
    X, Y    
        matrices of target and input coordinates. they must have equal
        numbers of  points (rows), but Y may have fewer dimensions
        (columns) than X.

    scaling 
        if False, the scaling component of the transformation is forced
        to 1

    reflection
        if 'best' (default), the transformation solution may or may not
        include a reflection component, depending on which fits the data
        best. setting reflection to True or False forces a solution with
        reflection or no reflection respectively.

    Outputs
    ------------
    d       
        the residual sum of squared errors, normalized according to a
        measure of the scale of X, ((X - X.mean(0))**2).sum()

    Z
        the matrix of transformed Y-values

    tform   
        a dict specifying the rotation, translation and scaling that
        maps X --> Y

    """

    n,m = X.shape
    ny,my = Y.shape

    muX = X.mean(0)
    muY = Y.mean(0)

    X0 = X - muX
    Y0 = Y - muY

    ssX = (X0**2.).sum()
    ssY = (Y0**2.).sum()

    # centred Frobenius norm
    normX = np.sqrt(ssX)
    normY = np.sqrt(ssY)

    # scale to equal (unit) norm
    X0 /= normX
    Y0 /= normY

    if my < m:
        Y0 = np.concatenate((Y0, np.zeros(n, m-my)),0)

    # optimum rotation matrix of Y
    A = np.dot(X0.T, Y0)
    U,s,Vt = np.linalg.svd(A,full_matrices=False)
    V = Vt.T
    T = np.dot(V, U.T)

    if reflection != 'best':

        # does the current solution use a reflection?
        have_reflection = np.linalg.det(T) < 0

        # if that's not what was specified, force another reflection
        if reflection != have_reflection:
            V[:,-1] *= -1
            s[-1] *= -1
            T = np.dot(V, U.T)

    traceTA = s.sum()

    if scaling:

        # optimum scaling of Y
        b = traceTA * normX / normY

        # standarised distance between X and b*Y*T + c
        d = 1 - traceTA**2

        # transformed coords
        Z = normX*traceTA*np.dot(Y0, T) + muX

    else:
        b = 1
        d = 1 + ssY/ssX - 2 * traceTA * normY / normX
        Z = normY*np.dot(Y0, T) + muX

    # transformation matrix
    if my < m:
        T = T[:my,:]
    c = muX - b*np.dot(muY, T)
    
    #transformation values 
    tform = {'rotation':T, 'scale':b, 'translation':c}
   
    return d, Z, tform

There is a Scipy function for it: scipy.spatial.procrustes

I'm just posting its example here:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy.spatial import procrustes

>>> a = np.array([[1, 3], [1, 2], [1, 1], [2, 1]], 'd')
>>> b = np.array([[4, -2], [4, -4], [4, -6], [2, -6]], 'd')
>>> mtx1, mtx2, disparity = procrustes(a, b)
>>> round(disparity)
0.0
