Exploring Relationships Among Multiple Data Sets
Abstract:
This paper has two related aims. First, some conceptual and mathematical relationships are discussed among alternative procedures for analyzing multiple data sets, including: inter-battery factor analysis (Tucker, 1958; Kristof, 1967), multiple regression, canonical correlation, generalized canonical correlation (Horst, 1965; Kettenring, 1971), longitudinal factor analysis (Corballis and Traub, 1970), and multiple set factor analysis (Golding and Seidman, 1974; Jackson, 1975). To motivate the comparison, each technique is related to a principal components model. The second aim is to describe an exploratory data analysis strategy for integrating the relative advantages of canonical correlation and multiple set factor analysis. When considering two data sets, the testing of statistical significance of appropriate linear combinations is emphasized, together with a further transformation to enhance substantive interpretation of the data.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
