+ - This function performs a canonical correlation analysis between the row
+ vectors in L and R. That is, it finds two transformation matrices, Ltrans
+ and Rtrans, such that row vectors in the transformed matrices L*Ltrans and
+ R*Rtrans are as correlated as possible. That is, we try to find two transforms
+ such that the correlation values returned by compute_correlations(L*Ltrans, R*Rtrans)
+ would be maximized.
+ - Let N == min(num_correlations, min(R.nr(),min(L.nc(),R.nc())))
+ (This is the actual number of elements in the transformed vectors.
+ Therefore, note that you can't get more outputs than there are rows or
+ columns in the input matrices.)
+ - #Ltrans.nr() == L.nc()
+ - #Ltrans.nc() == N
+ - #Rtrans.nr() == R.nc()
+ - #Rtrans.nc() == N
+ - This function assumes the data vectors in L and R have already been centered
+ (i.e. we assume the vectors have zero means). However, in many cases it is
+ fine to use uncentered data with cca(). But if it is important for your
+ problem then you should center your data before passing it to cca().
+ - This function works with reduced rank approximations of the L and R matrices.
+ This makes it fast when working with large matrices. In particular, we use
+ the svd_fast() routine to find reduced rank representations of the input
+ matrices by calling it as follows: svd_fast(L, U,D,V, num_correlations+extra_rank, q)
+ and similarly for R. This means that you can use the extra_rank and q
+ arguments to cca() to influence the accuracy of the reduced rank
+ approximation. However, the default values should work fine for most
+ problems.
+ - returns an estimate of compute_correlations(L*#Ltrans, R*#Rtrans). The
+ returned vector should exactly match the output of compute_correlations()
+ when the reduced rank approximation to L and R is accurate and regularization
+ is set to 0. However, if this is not the case then the return value of this
+ function will deviate from compute_correlations(L*#Ltrans, R*#Rtrans). This
+ deviation can be used to check if the reduced rank approximation is working
+ or you need to increase extra_rank.
+ - The dimensions of the output vectors produced by L*#Ltrans or R*#Rtrans are
+ ordered such that the dimensions with the highest correlations come first.
+ That is, after applying the transforms produced by cca() to a set of vectors
+ you will find that dimension 0 has the highest correlation, then dimension 1
+ has the next highest, and so on. This also means that the list of numbers
+ returned from cca() will always be listed in decreasing order.
+ - This function performs the ridge regression version of Canonical Correlation
+ Analysis when regularization is set to a value > 0. In particular, larger
+ values indicate the solution should be more heavily regularized. This can be
+ useful when the dimensionality of the data is larger than the number of
+ samples.
+ - A good discussion of CCA can be found in the paper "Canonical Correlation
+ Analysis" by David Weenink. In particular, this function is implemented
+ using equations 29 and 30 from his paper. We also use the idea of doing CCA
+ on a reduced rank approximation of L and R as suggested by Paramveer S.
+ Dhillon in his paper "Two Step CCA: A new spectral method for estimating
+ vector models of words".
