ERIC ED315440: Canonical Correlation as the Most

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

All parametric methods are special cases of canonical correlation analysis and can, in fact, be performed using the canonical correlation procedures found in commonly available computer statistics packages such as the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software. It is suggested that canonical analysis has advantages of versatility since it can accommodate various levels of scale and does not require that variance be discarded or that variable relationships be distorted. In addition, it has advantages of scientific parsimony since the analysis is also a variable reduction technique not unlike principal components analysis. Finally, canonical correlation analysis has heuristic value since it provides a framework that allows educational researchers to understand how all parametric methods are related. A small data set and the accompanying SAS program are presented, and it is established through concrete demonstration that canonical analysis does subsume other methods as special cases. Fourteen data tables and sample SAS commands are included.
