Glossary

Canonical correlation:

Correlation between two canonical variates of the same pair. This is the criterion optimized by CCA

Canonical loadings:

Correlation between the original variables and the canonical variates. Sometimes used as a synonym for canonical vectors (because these quantities differ only by their normalization)

Canonical variates:

The latent variables (one per data table) computed in CCA (also called canonical variables, canonical variable scores, or canonical factor scores). The canonical variates have maximal correlation

Canonical vectors:

The set of coefficients of the linear combinations used to compute the canonical variates, also called canonical weights. Canonical vectors are also sometimes called canonical loadings

Latent variable:

A linear combination of the variables of one data table. In general, a latent variable is computed to satisfy some predefined criterion
