Given a square matrix of variables X, is there any way to compute a
multivariable correlation among all the variables in the array? It is possible
to calculate the correlation of all pairs of variables in the array, but I want
to know the correlation of all the variables taken together, i.e. for the matrix
X=x1 x2 x3
x4 x5 x6
x7 x8 x9
I don't want the pair-wise correlations corr(x1,x2), corr(x1,x3), corr(x1,x4) .
. . etc., but rather
corr(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8,x9).
Thanks,
John
