Wilks {candisc}

Wilks Lambda Tests for Canonical Correlations

Description

Tests the sequential hypotheses that the ith canonical correlation and all that follow it are zero,

\rho_i = \rho_{i+1} = \cdots = 0

Usage

Wilks(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'cancor'
Wilks(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'candisc'
Wilks(object, ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class "cancor""} or \code{"candisc""

...

Other arguments passed to methods (not used)

Details

Wilks' Lambda values are calculated from the eigenvalues and converted to F statistics using Rao's approximation.

Value

A data.frame (of class "anova") containing the test statistics

Methods (by class)

• Wilks(cancor): "cancor" method.

• Wilks(candisc): print() method for "candisc" objects.
