cancor {stats} | R Documentation |
Compute the canonical correlations between two data matrices.
cancor(x, y, xcenter = TRUE, ycenter = TRUE)
x |
numeric matrix ( |
y |
numeric matrix ( |
xcenter |
logical or numeric vector of length |
ycenter |
analogous to |
The canonical correlation analysis seeks linear combinations of the
y
variables which are well explained by linear combinations
of the x
variables. The relationship is symmetric as
‘well explained’ is measured by correlations.
