[R] Canonical Variance Analysis by any other name?

[Patrick Connolly]

I've been asked about "Canonical Variance Analysis" (CVA).  I don't
see any reference to it searching the R site.  Does it go by other
names?

Genstat describes it thus:

Canonical variates analysis operates on a within-group sums of squares
and products matrix, calculated from a set of variates and factor that
specifies the grouping of units. It finds linear combinations of the
variates that maximize the ratio of between-group to within-group
variation, thereby giving functions that can be used to discriminate
between the groups.

It's probably not particularly difficult to do, so I suspect someone
has a package for doing it.  What other name might I search for?

Thnx
