Hello,
I used the function cor to calculate the pearson correlation coefficient
between variables. However, the resulting values do not correspond to the
outcome of my excel-calculations, for which I used the formula
Cor(x,y)=Cov(x,y)/(SD(x)*SD(y))
So my question is: How does the function "cor" compute the pearson correlation
coefficient?
Thank you in advance,
Ake Nauta
