Select menu: Stats | Multivariate Analysis | Canonical Correlations
Given a data set consisting of two separate sets of variables that have been measured on the same experimental units, Canonical Correlations Analysis may be used to obtain a quantitative measure of associations or relationships between the two sets.
The two sets of variables are denoted P and Q respectively. The analysis finds linear combinations of the P and Q variables, and the correlation between each pair of combinations.
