Canonical ecology and the analysis of aggregate voting models

Toward a Spatial Theory of Intra-Nation Modernization in Advanced Societies: The West German Case 1965–1969 / Zur Theorie der Raumgrundlagen inernationaler Modernisierung in entwickelten Gesellschaften: Das Beispiel Westdeutschland 1965–1969

“…With these difficulties in mind and desiring a measure which could account for the complexi ty of system-wide spatial modernity varia tion, it was decided to utilize a more appropri ate technique -canonical correlation (McHALE and PARTCH, 1975). Canonical ecology permits the researcher to investigate a number of de pendent variables at the point of their interac tion with a number of independent variables, while providing a measure of correlation bet ween each set (domain) of variables.…”
