- performs a canonical discriminant analysis, computes squared Mahalanobis
distances between class means, and performs both univariate and multivariate one-way
analyses of variance
- produces two output data sets: one containing the canonical coefficients
and another containing, among other things, scored canonical variables
- displays both standardized and unstandardized canonical coefficients
- displays correlations between the canonical variables and the
original variables as well as the class means for the canonical variables
- uses the scored canonical variables output data in conjunction with ODS Graphics to plot
pairs of canonical variables in order to aid visual interpretation of group differences
- tests the hypothesis that each canonical correlation and all smaller canonical correlations are zero in the population
- obtain separate analyses on observations in groups
- perform weighted analysis
- uses ODS to create a SAS data set corresponding to any table
