FRCC (version 1.1.0)

frcc: This function implements the Fast Regularized Canonical Correlation Analysis

Description

This function implements the Fast Regularized Canonical Correlation algorithm described in [Cruz-Cano et al., 2014].

The main idea of the algorithm is using the minimum risk estimators of the correlation matrices described in [Schafer and Strimmer, 2008] during the calculation of the Canonical correlation Structure.

It can be considered an extension of the work for two set of variables (blocks) mentioned in [Tenenhaus and Tenenhaus, 2011].

Usage

frcc(X, Y)

Value

A list with the following components of the Canonical Structure:

cor

Canonical correlations.

p_values

The corresponding p-values for the each of the canonical correlations.

canonical_weights_X

The canonical weights for the variables of the dataset X.

canonical_weights_Y

The canonical weights for the variables of the dataset Y.

canonical_factor_loadings_X

The inter-set canonical factor loadings for the variables of the dataset X.

canonical_factor_loadings_Y

The inter-set canonical factor loadings for the variables of the dataset Y.

Arguments

X

numeric matrix (n by p) which contains the observations on the X variables.

Y

numeric matrix (n by q) which contains the observations on the Y variables.
