Adrian,

To find all the correlations between columns of a matrix and to find their individual significance levels (questionable given that you are doing many correlations) use either the rcorr function in the Hmisc package or the corr.test function in the psych package.

however, I am finding it difficult to automate on a matrix.

Pardon my ignorance in R computing:

I do not know how to automate on a matrix.

If I do the following it works:
 x = cor.test(d6[1,],d6[2,])
 x

       Pearson's product-moment correlation

data:  d6[1, ] and d6[2, ]
t = 10.5196, df = 10, p-value = 9.973e-07
alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
 0.8520623 0.9883592
sample estimates:
     cor
0.9576655


If I want to run it on all rows, I do not know how to do it.

I tried following,

 lapply(d6,cor.test)
Error in cor.test.default(X[[1L]], ...) :
 element 1 is empty;
  the part of the args list of 'length' being evaluated was:
  (y)


 sapply(d6,cor.test)
Error in cor.test.default(X[[1L]], ...) :
 element 1 is empty;
  the part of the args list of 'length' being evaluated was:
  (y)

 for(i in 1:14659){
+ k = i+1
+ cor.test(d6[i,],d6[k,])
+ x = cor.test(d6[i,],d6[k,])
+ return(x)}
Error: no function to return from, jumping to top level


I appreciate your help.

thank you.
Adrian

 Dear group,

 I have a matrix like the following:

 Name     Sample1
 sample2    sample3   sample4 .....
 sample(n)
 nm1        10.5
     13.5
 30             31
 nm2         8
           11
       34
    29
 nm3         9
           10.3
     27.8         35
 nm(j)


 I want to be able to calculate correlation between
 all pairs of names.
 For example (nm1,nm2), (nm1,nm3), (nm1,nmj), (nm2,nm3),
 (nm2,nmj)....

 Then I want to calculate the significance of correlation
 using t-score
 or p-value.

 I can calculate correlation coeffecient in excel but not
 significance
 in both excel and R.

 I want to be able to do it in R, I appreciate your help.
 thank you.
 Ad.
