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.

Famous quotes containing the words connection to, connection and/or principal:

    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.
    Charlotte Davis Kasl (20th century)

    Parents have railed against shelters near schools, but no one has made any connection between the crazed consumerism of our kids and their elders’ cold unconcern toward others. Maybe the homeless are not the only ones who need to spend time in these places to thaw out.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    With a balanced combination of the two principal energies from mother and father, a girl can both be in touch with her womanly strengths and be a powerful force in the world—strong and nurturing, decisive and caring, goal- oriented and aware of the needs of others. She has the courage to voice what she thinks and feels and the strength to follow her destiny.
