It finds two bases, one for each variable, that are optimal with respect to correlations and, at the same time, it finds the corresponding correlations. In other words, it finds the two bases in which the correlation matrix between the variables is diagonal and the correlations on the diagonal are maximized. The dimensionality of these new bases is equal to or less than the smallest dimensionality of the two variables. An important property of canonical correlations is that they are invariant with respect to affine transformations of the variables. This is the most important differ- ence between CCA and ordinary correlation analysis which highly depend on the basis in which the variables are described.

  • A Call for Conducting Multivariate Mixed Analyses

Onwuegbuzie (Corresponding author) Department of Educational Leadership, Box 2119 Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas 77341-2119, USA E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 13, 2016 Accepted: May 25, 2016 Published: June 9, 2016 doi:10.5296/jei.v2i2.9316 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5296/jei.v2i2.9316 Abstract Several authors have written methodological works that provide an introductory- and/or intermediate-level guide to conducting mixed analyses. Although these works have been useful for beginning and emergent mixed researchers, with very few exceptions, works are lacking that describe and illustrate advanced-level mixed analysis approaches. Thus, the purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of multivariate mixed analyses, which represents a complex form of advanced mixed analyses. These analyses characterize a class of mixed analyses wherein at least one of the quantitative analyses and at least one of the qualitative analyses both involve the simultaneous analysis of multiple variables. The notion of multivariate mixed analyses previously has not been discussed in the literature, illustrating the significance and innovation of the article. Keywords: Mixed methods data analysis, Mixed analysis, Mixed analyses, Advanced mixed analyses, Multivariate mixed analyses 1. Crossover Nature of Mixed Analyses At least 13 decision criteria are available to researchers during the data analysis stage of mixed research studies (Onwuegbuzie & Combs, 2010). Of these criteria, the criterion that is the most underdeveloped is the crossover nature of mixed analyses. Yet, this form of mixed analysis represents a pivotal decision because it determines the level of integration and complexity of quantitative and qualitative analyses in mixed research studies.

  • A Probabilistic Interpretation of Canonical Correlation Analysis
    A Probabilistic Interpretation of Canonical Correlation Analysis Francis R. Bach Michael I. Jordan Computer Science Division Computer Science Division University of California and Department of Statistics Berkeley, CA 94114, USA University of California [email protected] Berkeley, CA 94114, USA [email protected] April 21, 2005 Technical Report 688 Department of Statistics University of California, Berkeley Abstract We give a probabilistic interpretation of canonical correlation (CCA) analysis as a latent variable model for two Gaussian random vectors. Our interpretation is similar to the proba- bilistic interpretation of principal component analysis (Tipping and Bishop, 1999, Roweis, 1998). In addition, we cast Fisher linear discriminant analysis (LDA) within the CCA framework. 1 Introduction Data analysis tools such as principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and canonical correlation analysis (CCA) are widely used for purposes such as dimensionality re- duction or visualization (Hotelling, 1936, Anderson, 1984, Hastie et al., 2001). In this paper, we provide a probabilistic interpretation of CCA and LDA. Such a probabilistic interpretation deepens the understanding of CCA and LDA as model-based methods, enables the use of local CCA mod- els as components of a larger probabilistic model, and suggests generalizations to members of the exponential family other than the Gaussian distribution. In Section 2, we review the probabilistic interpretation of PCA, while in Section 3, we present the probabilistic interpretation of CCA and LDA, with proofs presented in Section 4. In Section 5, we provide a CCA-based probabilistic interpretation of LDA. 1 z x Figure 1: Graphical model for factor analysis. 2 Review: probabilistic interpretation of PCA Tipping and Bishop (1999) have shown that PCA can be seen as the maximum likelihood solution of a factor analysis model with isotropic covariance matrix.

  • Canonical Correlation Analysis and Graphical Modeling for Huaman
    Canonical Autocorrelation Analysis and Graphical Modeling for Human Trafficking Characterization Qicong Chen Maria De Arteaga Carnegie Mellon University Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Pittsburgh, PA 15213 [email protected] [email protected] William Herlands Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 [email protected] Abstract The present research characterizes online prostitution advertisements by human trafficking rings to extract and quantify patterns that describe their online oper- ations. We approach this descriptive analytics task from two perspectives. One, we develop an extension to Sparse Canonical Correlation Analysis that identifies autocorrelations within a single set of variables. This technique, which we call Canonical Autocorrelation Analysis, detects features of the human trafficking ad- vertisements which are highly correlated within a particular trafficking ring. Two, we use a variant of supervised latent Dirichlet allocation to learn topic models over the trafficking rings. The relationship of the topics over multiple rings character- izes general behaviors of human traffickers as well as behaviours of individual rings. 1 Introduction Currently, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimates there are 2.5 million victims of human trafficking in the world, with 79% of them suffering sexual exploitation. Increasingly, traffickers use the Internet to advertise their victims’ services and establish contact with clients. The present reserach chacterizes online advertisements by particular human traffickers (or trafficking rings) to develop a quantitative descriptions of their online operations. As such, prediction is not the main objective. This is a task of descriptive analytics, where the objective is to extract and quantify patterns that are difficult for humans to find.

Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a classical multivariate method concerned with describing linear dependencies between sets of variables. After a short exposition of the linear sample CCA problem and its analytical solution, the article proceeds with a detailed characterization of its geometry. Projection operators are used to illustrate the relations between canonical vectors and variates. The article then addresses the problem of CCA between spaces spanned by objects mapped into kernel feature spaces. An exact solution for this kernel canonical correlation (KCCA) problem is derived from a geometric point of view. It shows that the expansion coefficients of the canonical vectors in their respective feature space can be found by linear CCA in the basis induced by kernel principal component analysis. The effect of mappings into higher dimensional feature spaces is considered critically since it simplifies the CCA problem in general.

For simple data sets, cross-correlograms may reveal the coupling dynamics. But when dealing with high-dimensional multivariate data there is no such measure as the cross- correlogram. We propose a simple algorithm based on Kernel Canonical Correlation Anal- ysis (kCCA) that computes a multivariate temporal filter which links one data modality to another one. The filters can be used to compute a multivariate extension of the cross- correlogram, the canonical correlogram, between data sources that have different dimen- sionalities and temporal resolutions.
