Abstract

Two new non-parametric common principal component model selection procedures based on bootstrap distributions of the vector correlations of all combinations of the eigenvectors from two groups are proposed. The performance of these methods is compared in a simulation study to the two parametric methods previously suggested by Flury (1988), as well as modified versions of two non-parametric methods proposed by Klingenberg (1996) and Klingenberg and McIntyre (1998). The proposed bootstrap vector correlation distribution (BVD) method is shown to outperform all of the existing methods in most of the simulated situations considered.
