Abstract:

Given plural datasets, Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) investigates the linear transformation of the variables which reduces the correlation structure to the simplest possible form, and addresses the relationships between the variables among the datasets. We propose a novel method for testing the statistical significance of canonical correlation coefficients between two datasets. Utilizing post-selection inference framework, our proposed method provides exact type I error as well as steady detection power with Gaussian assumption. Simulation results compare well with existing approaches.
