correlation_test {nzilbb.vowels} | R Documentation |
Permute data a given number (n) of times, collecting pairwise correlations
and testing them for significance. See plot_correlation_magnitudes()
and
plot_correlation_counts()
for plotting functions which take the output of
this function.
correlation_test(pca_data, n = 100, cor.method = "pearson")
pca_data |
dataframe or matrix containing only continuous variables.
(as accepted by the |
n |
the number of times (integer) to permute that data. Warning: high values will take a long time to compute. Default: 100. |
cor.method |
method to use for correlations (default = "pearson").
Alternative is "spearman" (see |

$permuted_correlations
A tibble of length n of pairs from the original
data, their correlations, and the significance of each correlation (as
p-values).
$actual_correlations
the correlations of each pair of variables
in the original data and their significance (as p-values).
$iterations
the number of permutations carried out.
$cor_method
the form of correlation used.
