The Influence of Television on Measured Cognitive Abilities
In 1979 and again in 1982 data were collected in rural Alaska to assess certain effects of commercial entertainment television, which began in 1977 in selected rural sites. The findings reported here include two major culture groups: the northern Inupiat Eskimo (four villages) and the southwestern Tlingit and Haida (two villages). In 1979, half of the villages had received television for two years; by 1982 all villages had reception capabilities,…
An Empirical Investigation Of Step-Down Canonical Correlation With Cross-Validation
Three potential applications of stepwise procedures in canonical analysis and several alternative stepping decision rules are described. A stepdown procedure using smallest interest multiple correlation as the stepping criterion was applied to data on the Minnesota Importance Questionnaire and the Minnesota Vocational Interest Inventory for two random halves of a group of 500 males in a double cross-validation design. Results indicated that up to…
Canonical Analysis And Predictor Selection
This paper addresses theoretical and practical issues in the use of canonical analysis for prediction. A major objection to canonical prediction has been that the variates that are predicted are of low utility and do not reflect practical concerns. This problem may be overcome by a stepwise approach to the selection of predictor variables such that those predictors which predict the desired criterion are retained. In addition, canonical analysis …
Studying Canonical Analysis
In their Monte Carlo study of canonical analysis, Barcikowski and Stevens evaluated the relative stability of canionical weights and loadings. This paper identifies some weaknesses in their study, suggests directions for future research in this area, and discusses interpretation of canonical analysis both in development and in cross-validation
