Canonical correlation methods for data representing functions or curves have received much attention in recent years. Such data, known in the literature as functional data (Ramsay and Silverman, 2005), has been the subject of much recent research interest. Examples of functional data can be found in several application domains, such as medicine, economics, meteorology and many others. Unfortunately, the multivariate data canonical correlation methods cannot be used directly for functional data, because of the problem of dimensionality and difficulty in taking into account the correlation and order of functional data. The problem of constructing canonical correlations and canonical variables for functional data was addressed by Leurgans et al. (1993), and further developments were made by Ramsay and Silverman (2005). In this paper we propose a new method of constructing canonical correlations and canonical variables for functional data.

Summary Classical canonical correlation analysis seeks the associations between two data sets, i.e. it searches for linear combinations of the original variables having maximal correlation. Our task is to maximize this correlation, and is equivalent to solving a generalized eigenvalue problem. The maximal correlation coefficient (being a solution of this problem) is the first canonical correlation coefficient. In this paper we propose a new method of constructing canonical correlations and canonical variables for a pair of stochastic processes represented by a finite number of orthonormal basis functions.

Canonical correlation analysis has been increasingly applied to marketing problems. This article presents some suggestions for interpreting canonical correlations, particularly for avoiding overstatement of the shared variation between sets of independent variables and for explicating relationships among variables within each set.

Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a technique for measuring the association between two multivariate data matrices. A regularized modification of canonical correlation analysis (RCCA) which imposes an [Formula: see text] penalty on the CCA coefficients is widely used in applications with high-dimensional data. One limitation of such regularization is that it ignores any data structure, treating all the features equally, which can be ill-suited for some applications. In this article we introduce several approaches to regularizing CCA that take the underlying data structure into account. In particular, the proposed group regularized canonical correlation analysis (GRCCA) is useful when the variables are correlated in groups. We illustrate some computational strategies to avoid excessive computations with regularized CCA in high dimensions. We demonstrate the application of these methods in our motivating application from neuroscience, as well as in a small simulation example.

AbstractOcean wave spectra are complex. Because of this complexity, no widely accepted method has been developed for the comparison between two sets of paired wave spectra. A method for intercomparing wave spectra is developed based on an example paradigm of the comparison of model spectra to observed spectra. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is used to investigate the correlation structure of the matrix of spectral correlations. The set of N ranked canonical correlations developed through CCA (here termed the r-sequence) is shown to be an effective method for understanding the degree of correlation between sets of paired spectral observation. A standard method for intercomparing sets of wave spectra based on CCA is then described. The method is elucidated through analyses of synthetic and real spectra that span a range of correlation from random to almost equal.

In this study, canonical correlation analysis was applied to layer data to estimate the relationships of egg production with age at sexual maturity, body weight and egg weight. For this purpose, it was designed to evaluate the relationship between two sets of variables of laying hens: egg numbers at three different periods as the first set of variables (Y) and age at sexual maturity, body weight, egg weight as the second set of variables (X) by using canonical correlation analysis. Estimated canonical correlations between the first and the second pair of canonical variates were significant (P < 0.01). Canonical weights and loadings from canonical correlation analysis indicated that age at sexual maturity had the largest contribution as compared with body weight and egg weight to variation of the number of egg productions at three different periods.

SummaryThere is a growing need to analyze data sets characterized by several sets of variables observed on the same set of individuals. Such complex data structures are known as multiblock (or multiple-set) data sets. Multi-block data sets are encountered in diverse fields including bioinformatics, chemometrics, food analysis, etc. Generalized Canonical Correlation Analysis (GCCA) is a very powerful method to study this kind of relationships between blocks. It can also be viewed as a method for the integration of information from K > 2 distinct sources (Takane and Oshima-Takane 2002). In this paper, GCCA is considered in the context of multivariate functional data. Such data are treated as realizations of multivariate random processes. GCCA is a technique that allows the joint analysis of several sets of data through dimensionality reduction. The central problem of GCCA is to construct a series of components aiming to maximize the association among the multiple variable sets. This method will be presented for multivariate functional data. Finally, a practical example will be discussed.

Background: Burnout is known to have detrimental effects on healthcare staff with regard to both personal and occupational matters. The association between burnout symptoms and work satisfaction in endoscopy nursing staff in Germany has not been studied previously. We aimed to investigate the association between work satisfaction and risk of burnout in endoscopy nursing staff in Germany and to extract predictors for burnout in the area of work satisfaction, which can inform the design of future interventions. Setting: All members of the German Association of Endoscopy Staff in Germany (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Endoskopiefachberufe e.V.—DEGEA) were invited to take part in an online survey. Methods: The total sample consisted of 674 endoscopy staff members. Of those, 579 were female (85.9%) and 95 were male (14.1%). The mean age of the participants was 44.3 years (SD 10.6), with a median age of 46 years, a minimum age of 20, and a maximum age of 64 years. We used confirmatory factor analyses to examine the Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) and, a questionnaire for assessing general and facet-specific job satisfaction (KAFA), regarding their postulated internal structure in our special sample. Canonical correlations were performed to examine the association between work satisfaction and burnout in endoscopy staff members. Results: We were able to replicate the factorial structures of the MBI and the KAFA, both showing an acceptable model fit. The canonical correlation analysis resulted in three canonical functions, with canonical correlations of 0.64 (p < 0.001), 0.32 (p < 0.001), and 0.17 (p < 0.001). The first canonical function revealed that KAFA scales for colleagues, professional development, payment, supervisor, and general job satisfaction were good predictors for less exhaustion, less depersonalization and lack of empathy, and higher personal accomplishment. Commonality analysis revealed that general job satisfaction was the most significant factor in explaining the squared canonical correlation. The second canonical function showed that occupational function and colleagues were good predictors for exhaustion and personal accomplishment. Conclusions: Interventions aimed at ameliorating symptoms of burnout in endoscopy staff should be tailored to address specific needs as experienced by the employees. Therefore, the results of this study could contribute to the design of various interventions, which could be employed to address the issue of work satisfaction and burnout in endoscopy staff most effectively.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi encontrar as melhores variáveis preditoras através de análise de correlação canônica nos ventos alísios, Temperatura da Superfície do Mar (TSM), Pressão atmosférica à superfície no Oceano Pacífico Equatorial e TSM no Atlântico Tropical (área do Dipolo), de forma que se possam elaborar modelos de previsão da precipitação pluvial (período chuvoso) do setor leste do Nordeste do Brasil para os quatro meses mais chuvosos dos três grupos homogêneos, com antecedência de três meses. Os grupos foram escolhidos a partir de análise de agrupamento utilizando o método hierárquico. Para estudar as correlações canônicas entre a precipitação dos grupos com os dados padronizados de TSM, vento e pressão atmosférica, as análises fundamentaram-se na série dos totais de precipitação de abril a julho e dados defasados de médias de três meses (média de Novembro a Janeiro) de TSM, vento em 850 hPa no Pacífico Equatorial e pressão da atmosfera em Tahiti e Darwin para o período de 1986 a 2017. Percebe-se que os principais preditores para os grupos homogêneos foram, por ordem de maior importância: Média de três meses de atraso do índice de ventos alísios Equatorial central (MedWC), Média da pressão atmosférica à superfície em Darwin (Mdarwin), Média do EN 34 (MEN34), Média da pressão atmosférica à superfície em Tahiti (Mtahiti) e Média de índice de ventos alísios leste (MedWE). Nota-se deste atraso que a principal influência está no Pacífico, no ENOS. Predictors identification for rain in the east sector of the Northeast Brazil using canonical correlation analysis A B S T R A C TThe objective of this work was to find the best predictor variables through canonical correlation analysis in trade winds, Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Atmospheric pressure at the surface in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean and SST in the Tropical Atlantic (Dipole area), that models for forecasting rainfall (rainy season) in the eastern sector of northeastern Brazil can be developed for the four rainiest months of the three homogeneous groups, three months in advance. The groups were chosen from the cluster analysis using the hierarchical method. To study the canonical correlations between the precipitation of the groups with the standardized data of SST, wind and atmospheric pressure, the analyzes were based on the series of precipitation totals from April to July and lagged data of three-month averages (average from November to July). January) of SST, wind at 850 hPa in the Equatorial Pacific and atmospheric pressure in Tahiti and Darwin for the period from 1986 to 2017. It can be seen that the main predictors for homogeneous groups were, in order of greatest importance: Average of three months delay of the central Equatorial trade winds index (MedWC), mean of the atmospheric pressure at the surface in Darwin (Mdarwin), mean of the EN 34 (MEN34), mean of the atmospheric pressure at the surface in Tahiti (Mtahiti) and mean of the east trade winds (MedWE). It is noted from this delay that the main influence is in the Pacific, in the ENSO.Keywords: wind, SST, precipitation.
