Depression study with canonical correlation analysis

The purpose of this study is to reduce potential statistical barriers and open doors to canonical correlation analysis (CCA) for applied behavioral scientists and personality researchers. CCA was selected for discussion, as it represents the highest level of the general linear model (GLM) and can be...

description The purpose of this study is to reduce potential statistical barriers and open doors to canonical correlation analysis (CCA) for applied behavioral scientists and personality researchers.

An understanding of CCA can lead to a more global appreciation of other univariate and multivariate methods in the GLM.
