Abstract
We consider asymptotically exact inference on the leading canonical correlation directions and strengths between two high-dimensional vectors under sparsity restrictions. In this regard, our main contribution is developing a novel representation of the Canonical Correlation Analysis problem, based on which one can operationalize a one-step bias correction on reasonable initial estimators. Our analytic results in this regard are adaptive over suitable structural restrictions of the high-dimensional nuisance parameters, which, in this set-up, correspond to the covariance matrices of the variables of interest. We further supplement the theoretical guarantees behind our procedures with extensive numerical studies.
