Canonical Correlation - Connection To Principal Angles

Connection To Principal Angles

Assuming that and have zero expected values, i.e., their covariance matrices and can be viewed as Gram matrices in an inner product, see Covariance#Relationship_to_inner_products, for the columns of and, correspondingly. The definition of the canonical variables and is equivalent to the definition of principal vectors for the pair of subspaces spanned by the columns of and with respect to this inner product. The canonical correlations is equal to the cosine of principal angles.

    It may comfort you to know that if your child reaches the age of eleven or twelve and you have a good bond or relationship, no matter how dramatic adolescence becomes, you children will probably turn out all right and want some form of connection to you in adulthood.

It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.
