similar to: Interpreting canonical correlation (cancor) results

Hello, I'm a beginning user of R, now I have a question about canonical correlation analysis (cca). In R,there is a function "cancor.R" used for cca; For example X(n*p1) and Y(n*p2)are the two matrix to be analyzed. In the example given by R, when n> max(p1,n2), cancor(X,Y) works; but when n<p1 or n<p2, cancor(X,Y) doesn't work well because cancor$cor == 1; how to cope

Dear list, I'm trying to compare two sets of variables using canonical analysis. My X variables include 3 climate indices, all continuous. My Y variables describe a set of 3 environmental moisture measurements. However, I would also like to include a class variable for habitat type. My colleaugue was able to do this in SAS, but we could not find a way to do it in R. Is anyone familiar

When I use the function cancor of mva package, I found that it doesn't work when one of the matrix has only one column, or both have only one column. The function in Splus 5 with the same name works under those situations. The version of R I am using is 0.63.2 (released on Jan., 1999) on Solaris.

Hi everyone, Can I suggest an additional output component in cancor, from package mva? It would be useful to have the number of canonical correlation vectors, equivalently the rank of the covariance between x and y (label "rank"). This would usually be min(dx, dy), where dx and dy have already been computed for the svd function, but there might be situations where it was less than

Dear R's! I am strugling with cancor procedure in R. I cannot figure out the meaning of xcoef and of yxcoef. Are these: 1. standardized coefficients 2. structural coefficients 3. something else? I have tried to simulate canonical correlation analysis by checking the eigenstructure of the expression: Sigma_xx %*% Sigma_xy %*% Sigma_yy %*% t(Sigma_xy). The resulting eigenvalues were the same

Hi, I am a total beginner with this whole thing so please have patience! I am trying to run an S-plus program with a certain line: spline(1:nrow(y), y[,1],n=100); This crashes with: Error: NAs in foreign function call (arg 8) Apparently, this is caused by the last command of spline: u <- seq(xmin, xmax, length.out = n) .C("spline_eval", z$method, length(u), x = u, y =
