This document provides an overview of canonical correlation analysis (CCA), a statistical technique used to analyze relationships between two sets of variables. CCA derives linear combinations (canonical variates) of the variables from each set that are maximally correlated. The document outlines the key components of CCA, including the fundamental equations, derivation of canonical variates and canonical correlations, interpretation of weights, loadings and cross-loadings, and assessment of the importance of canonical variates. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to apply and interpret CCA results.
