I want to learn a non parametric canonical correlation analysis. I have two sets data as their linear combination of 3 or more variables and do not follow approximate multi variate normal distribution.
How could I get its solution in SAS or in any other software?
Thanks 🙏

I am not aware of (and google does not find) examples of doing non parametric canonical correlation in SAS. I can't speak about other software (but maybe google can)

I didn't find it in Google and so, am asking for help.

I think that means you can't do it in SAS right now, unless you write your own code.

Firstly PROC CANCORR can do canonical correlation analysis.

But for non parametric canonical correlation analysis,
I guess you could get ranks of variables by PROC RANK ,and you could feed it into PROC CANCORR.

And maybe @StatDave know more thing.
