3 Description

Let there be two sets of variables,

x

and

y

. For a sample of

n

observations on

n_{x}

variables in a data matrix

X

and

n_{y}

variables in a data matrix

Y

, canonical correlation analysis seeks to find a small number of linear combinations of each set of variables in order to explain or summarise the relationships between them. The variables thus formed are known as canonical variates.

Let the variance-covariance matrix of the two datasets be

(\begin{matrix} S_{x x} & S_{x y} \\ S_{y x} & S_{y y} \end{matrix})

and let

Σ = S_{y y}^{−1} S_{y x} S_{x x}^{−1} S_{x y}

then the canonical correlations can be calculated from the eigenvalues of the matrix

Σ

. However, g03adc calculates the canonical correlations by means of a singular value decomposition (SVD) of a matrix

V

. If the rank of the data matrix

X

k_{x}

and the rank of the data matrix

Y

k_{y}

, and both

X

and

Y

have had variable (column) means subtracted, then the

k_{x} \times k_{y}

matrix

V

is given by:

V = Q_{x}^{T} Q_{y},

where

Q_{x}

is the first

k_{x}

rows of the orthogonal matrix

Q

either from the

Q R

decomposition of

X

X

is of full column rank, i.e.,

k_{x} = n_{x}

X = Q_{x} R_{x}

or from the SVD of

X

k_{x} < n_{x}

X = Q_{x} D_{x} P_{x}^{T} .

Similarly

Q_{y}

is the first

k_{y}

rows of the orthogonal matrix

Q

either from the

Q R

decomposition of

Y

Y

is of full column rank, i.e.,

k_{y} = n_{y}

Y = Q_{y} R_{y}

or from the SVD of

Y

k_{y} < n_{y}

Y = Q_{y} D_{y} P_{y}^{T} .

Let the SVD of

V

be:

V = U_{x} Δ U_{y}^{T}

then the nonzero elements of the diagonal matrix

Δ

δ_{i}

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, l

, are the

l

canonical correlations associated with the

l

canonical variates, where

l = \min (k_{x}, k_{y})

The eigenvalues,

λ_{i}^{2}

, of the matrix

Σ

are given by:

λ_{i}^{2} = \frac{δ_{i}^{2}}{1 + δ_{i}^{2}} .

The value of

π_{i} = λ_{i}^{2} / \sum λ_{i}^{2}

gives the proportion of variation explained by the

i

th canonical variate. The values of the

π_{i}

give an indication as to how many canonical variates are needed to adequately describe the data, i.e., the dimensionality of the problem.

To test for a significant dimensionality greater than

i

the

χ^{2}

statistic:

(n - \frac{1}{2} (k_{x} + k_{y} + 3)) \sum_{j = i + 1}^{l} \log (1 + λ_{j}^{2})

can be used. This is asymptotically distributed as a

χ^{2}

distribution with

(k_{x} - i) (k_{y} - i)

degrees of freedom. If the test for

i = k_{\min}

is not significant, then the remaining tests for

i > k_{\min}

should be ignored.

The loadings for the canonical variates are calculated from the matrices

U_{x}

and

U_{y}

respectively. These matrices are scaled so that the canonical variates have unit variance.
