Dear users, I'm quite a new french R-user, and I have a problem about doing a correlation matrix. I have temperature data for each weather station of my study area and for each year (for example, a data file for the weather station N°1 for the year 2009, a data file for the N°2 for the year 2010, ....). So I have 70 weather stations with one data file per year since 2005. Each station has 4 temperature sensors. Each data file has exactly the same structure: date&hour, sensor1, sensor2, sensor3, sensor4. Here's an example:
time sensor1 sensor2 sensor3sensor4 01/01/2008 00:00 -0.25 -2.43 -3.25 -2.37 01/01/2008 00:15 -0.18 -2.37 -3.18 -2.25 01/01/2008 00:30 -0.25 -2.5 -3.37 -2.56 01/01/2008 00:45 -0.25 -2.37 -3.31 -2.37 I need to do a matrix correlation between each same sensors of the different stations (one correlation matrix between all the sensors 1 of the 70 stations, another one for sensor 2, ...). I have to find for each year and each station the best correlation. For example, which one of the 70 weather stations is the most well correlated with station 1 for the sensor 1? and with station 2? ... and so one for each sensor and each station. Example: Sensor 1 for the year 2009 Station 1 Station 2 Station 3 [...] Station 1 1 0.910 0.748 Station 2 0.910 1 0.6 Station 3 0.748 0.6 1 [...] And the same for year 2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011 for each of the 4 sensors. Have you got any idea how can I do this on R? Should I first merge all the sensors in one file or could I do it with data in separate files (like I have for the moment)? Thank you very much for all your answers! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/correlation-matrix-between-data-from-different-files-tp4552226p4552226.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
