Abstract
The relations among principal items of 8 types of fishing boats were analyzed using Canonical Correlation Analysis, and the features were extracted on the basis of analyzing results, and were compared thoroughly with the actual principal items.
Here, from our studies, three ratios of (fish hold)/(length between perpendiculars×molded breadth×molded depth), (main engine horsepower)/(full load displacement), and (sea speed)/(length between perpendiculars)1/2 are noteworthy as the best expressions of the features of fishing boats.
We adopted these ratios and scalar quantities lead from the basic principal items as the de-pendent variables and the independent ones, respectively, and conducted the analysis.
Consequently, the features of fishing boats of 8 types were obtained. The Canonical Cor-relation Analysis was available here.
Our final purposes are, using our results, grouping for general types of fishing boats, and contributions to the safety of fishing boats and to the elevation of fishing performance.
