The problem of decomposing a given covariance matrix as the sum of a positive semi-definite matrix of given rank and a positive semi-definite diagonal matrix, is considered. We present a projection-type algorithm to address this problem. This algorithm appears to perform extremely well and is extremely fast even when the given covariance matrix has a very large dimension. The effectiveness of the algorithm is assessed through simulation studies and by applications to three real benchmark datasets that are considered. A local convergence analysis of the algorithm is also presented.
