R help - Apr 2012 - Where to find the p-value of a correlation test

Hey everyone,


I hope this finds you in good cheer.

I just have a quick question: What is the function that outputs the p-value
for correlation?

cor(x,y) only provides the R value. I would like the p-value associated
with it.

Thank you all for your help!

Hi,

Look at the "See also" section of ?cor

Best,
Ista

cor(x,y) calculates the correlation, it doesn't perform a test, so there 
is no p-value.

cor.test() performs a test.
