Canonical correlation analysis investigates linear relationships between two sets of variables, but often works poorly on modern data sets due to high-dimensionality and mixed data types such as continuous, binary and zero-inflated. To overcome these challenges, we propose a semiparametric approach for sparse canonical correlation analysis based on Gaussian copula. Our main contribution is a truncated latent Gaussian copula model for data with excess zeros, which allows us to derive a rank-based estimator of the latent correlation matrix for mixed variable types without the estimation of marginal transformation functions. The resulting canonical correlation analysis method works well in high-dimensional settings as demonstrated via numerical studies, as well as in application to the analysis of association between gene expression and micro RNA data of breast cancer patients.
