PCCA -- phylogenetic canonical correlation analysis
What you can do:
A program for canonical correlation analysis of multivariate, continuously valued data from biological species.
Highlights:
- Canonical correlation analysis is a technique in which derived variables are obtained from two sets of original variables whereby the correlations between corresponding derived variables are maximized.
- It is a very useful multivariate statistical method for the calculation and analysis of correlations between character sets.
- The program controls for species non-independence due to phylogenetic history and computes canonical coefficients, correlations and scores; and conducts hypothesis tests on the canonical correlations.
- It can also compute a multivariate version of Pagel's lambda, which can then be used in the phylogenetic transformation.
Keywords:
- Phylogeny
- Phylogenetics
