ccar3: Canonical Correlation Analysis via Reduced Rank Regression

Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) via reduced-rank regression with support for regularization and cross-validation. Several methods for estimating CCA in high-dimensional settings are implemented. The first set of methods, cca_rrr() (and variants: cca_group_rrr() and cca_graph_rrr()), assumes that one dataset is high-dimensional and the other is low-dimensional, while the second, ecca() (for Efficient CCA) assumes that both datasets are high-dimensional. For both methods, standard l1 regularization as well as group-lasso regularization are available. cca_graph_rrr further supports total variation regularization when there is a known graph structure among the variables of the high-dimensional dataset. In this case, the loadings of the canonical directions of the high-dimensional dataset are assumed to be smooth on the graph.
