TOWARD THE INTERPRETATION OF CANONICAL DIMENSIONS
Abstract:
Since canonical correlations (Rc) reflect the relationships between linear combinations of two sets of items, variance shared by both sets may or may not be high. This paper examines a procedure providing needed clarification in the interpretation of Rc. Three canonical solutions disclosed that highly sig- nificant Rcs may actually represent very little overlapping variance. A redundancy index proved to be an invaluable aid for placing the Rc in proper perspective. The efficiency for extracting shared variance was found to decrease steadily with each successive canonical variate.
