Asymptotic Distributions in Canonical Correlation Analysis and Other Multivariate Procedures for Nonnormal Populations
非正态总体下典型相关分析及其他多元方法的渐近分布
An asymptotic theory for canonical correlation analysis is given for multivariate populations with finite fourth moments. The asymptotic distributions of the sample canonical correlation coefficients and of statistics used for testing hypotheses about the population coefficients involve the fourth order cumulants of the parent population and are sensitive to departures from normality. These asymptotic distributions have surprisingly simple forms in the case of elliptical…
