| All variates were analysed using the SYSTAT or the Genstat statistical packages. |
| Hence, this study standardized all cluster variates to a mean of zero and standard deviation of one. |
| With canonical correlation, if there are two negative coefficients across the two variates, that means they co-align. |
| Although not reported, the study's findings do not indicate high multicollinearity among cluster variates. |
| An important consequence of these three points is that the information has to be concentrated in a small number of patterns or variates. |
| In the second step these probabilities are used as independent variates in a model to analyze the phenotypic data. |
