【 摘 要 】

Principal Components Analysis was developed by Harold Hotelling (1895-1973) in 1933 and Canonical Correlations Analysis in 1936. In this article we trace some of the stages leading up to the development of these procedures, chiefly in the hands of Francis Galton (1822-1911) and Karl Pearson (1857-1936) paying particular attention to the two-variable case developed independently by Julius Ludwig Weisbach (1806-1871) in 1840 and Robert Jackson Adcock (1826-1895) in 1877-78.
