Cluster indicator matrix for Xi

Indicator vector

In mathematics, the indicator vector or characteristic vector or incidence vector of

a subset T of a set S is the vector

such that

if
If S is countable and its elements are numbered so that

if

and
, then

where
if
and
if
To put it more simply, the indicator vector of T is a vector with one element for each
element in S, with that element being one if the corresponding element of S is in T,
and zero if it is not.[1][2][3]

What's the meaning of the class indicator matrix

when transforming the class label matrix into it in
canonical correlation analysis?

When using canonical correlation analysis (CCA), we can integrate the

dataset and label information via transforming the class label matrix Y into
the class indicator matrix T. Such as: T=(YY T ) Y in this article on LS
CCA.
While for the numeric dataset and the binary dataset, the binary dataset
can be viewed as the class label matrix and transformed into the class
indicator matrix. After that, should I use the CCA?
Though without this transformation, the CCA can be used, I'd like to know
how to explian this kind of transformation once using it on the binary
dataset (not label matrix). Thank you.
