Hi everybody,
I would like to apply cor.test to a matrix with m rows and n columns and get
the results in a list of matrices , one matrix for p.val, one for the
statistic, one for the correlation and 2 for upper and lower confidence
intervals, something analog with cor() applied to a matrix.
I have done my own function to get a matrix of p.values and i suppose i can
build similar functions for all the others. But i have used for loops and i
wonder if there is any way to actually use one of the functions from the
"apply" family to do this in a quicker way.
Here is my little function:
cor.pval <- function(x, method = c("pearson", "kendal", "spearman"), digit=8) {
n <- dim(x)[2]
pval <- matrix(paste(rep("c", n*n), seq(1,n*n), sep = ""), n, n, byrow = T)
for (i in 1:n) {
for (j in 1:n){
pval[i, j] <- cor.test(x[,i], x[,j], method = method)$p.value
}
}
pval <- matrix(round(as.numeric(pval),digit), n, n, byrow = T)
rownames(pval) <- colnames(x)
colnames(pval) <- colnames(x)
return(pval)
}
Thanks for any input,
Monica
