A The standardized and unstandardized canonical correlation coefficients

Click For Summary
Standardized canonical correlation coefficients are calculated by normalizing the variables, allowing for comparison across different scales, while unstandardized coefficients reflect the raw relationships between the variables without scaling. The standardized coefficients provide insights into the strength of the relationship in a standardized context, whereas unstandardized coefficients indicate the actual magnitude of the relationship. The distinction is crucial for interpreting results in canonical correlation analysis, as standardized coefficients are often more useful for understanding the relative importance of variables. Canonical correlation analysis in SPSS 27 outputs both types of coefficients, enabling researchers to choose the most appropriate for their analysis. Understanding these differences enhances the interpretation of the relationships between sets of variables.

TL;DR
What exactly are the standardized and unstandardized canonical correlation coefficients and what is the difference between them?
The output of SPSS 27 Canonical Correlation gives the standardized and unstandardized canonical correlation coefficients.

standardized:
$$
\operatorname{cov}\left(\dfrac{X-\mu_X}{\sigma_X}\, , \,\dfrac{Y-\mu_Y}{\sigma_Y}\right)=\dfrac{1}{\sigma_X\,\sigma_Y}\,\operatorname{cov}(X,Y)
$$

unstandardized:
##\operatorname{cov}(X,Y)##

You simply define the standardized and unstandardized correlation coefficient, but we are talking about the canonical correlation coefficient here.
 
There is a nice little variation of the problem. The host says, after you have chosen the door, that you can change your guess, but to sweeten the deal, he says you can choose the two other doors, if you wish. This proposition is a no brainer, however before you are quick enough to accept it, the host opens one of the two doors and it is empty. In this version you really want to change your pick, but at the same time ask yourself is the host impartial and does that change anything. The host...
