Mantel test

The Mantel test, named after Nathan Mantel, is a statistical test of the correlation between two matrices. The matrices must be of the same dimension; in most applications, they are matrices of interrelations between the same vectors of objects. The test was first published by Nathan Mantel, a biostatistician at the National Institutes of Health, in 1967.^[1] Accounts of it can be found in advanced statistics books (e.g., Sokal & Rohlf 1995^[2]).
