canonical analysis  

Definition

  • In statistics, canonical analysis (from Ancient Greek: κανων bar, measuring rod, ruler) belongs to the family of regression methods for data analysis. Regression analysis quantifies a relationship between a predictor variable and a criterion variable by the coefficient of correlation r, coefficient of determination r², and the standard regression coefficient β. Multiple regression analysis expresses a relationship between a set of predictor variables and a single criterion variable by the multiple correlation R, multiple coefficient of determination R², and a set of standard partial regression weights β₁, β₂, etc. Canonical variate analysis captures a relationship between a set of predictor variables and a set of criterion variables by the canonical correlations ρ₁, ρ₂, ..., and by the sets of canonical weights C and D.
