strange behavior of cor() with pairwise.complete.obs
Hi all, I'm not quite sure if this is a feature or a bug or if I just fail to understand the documentation: If I use cor() with pairwise.complete.obs and method=pearson, the result is a scalar: ->cor(c(1,2,3),c(3,4,6),use="pairwise.complete.obs",method="pearson") [1] 0.9819805 The documentation says that " '"pairwise.complete.obs"' only

Incorrect Kendall's tau for ordered variables (PR#14207)
Full_Name: Marek Ancukiewicz Version: 2.10.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (74.0.49.2) Both cor() and cor.test() incorrectly handle ordered variables with method="kendall", cor() incorrectly handles ordered variables for method="spearman" (method="person" always works correctly, while method="spearman" works for cor.test, but not for cor()).

Bug in cor.test - Spearman
Greetings. There seems to be a problem with the P-value computation in the cor.test with method="spearman". In R1.8.0 (MS Windows) I seem to be getting intermittently nonsense P-values, but the rho's are OK. I can get this reproducibly with the toy example attached where the first use is OK and subsequent calls with the same data give nonsense. (I have also seen the problem

correlating between two vectors of numbers
Hi, R! Question1: I am trying to correlate two vectors of numbers (two columns of microarray signal values) by using the non-parametric Spearman's rank correlation coefficient rho: > cor.test(V2.Signal,V3.Signal,method="spearman") but I get the error message: Error in if (q > (n^3 - n)/6) pspearman(q - 1, n, lower.tail = FALSE) else pspearman(q, : missing value

cor(..., method="spearman") or cor(..., method="kendall") (PR#6641)
Dear R maintainers, R is great. Now that I have that out of the way, I believe I have encountered a bug, or at least an inconsistency, in how Spearman and Kendall rank correlations are handled. Specifically, cor() and cor.test() do not produce the same answer when the data contain NAs. cor() treats the NAs as data, while cor.test() eliminates them. The option use="complete.obs" has

how to extract object from stats test output (cor.test)?
Hello, Is there a way to extract output objects from a stats test without viewing the entire output? I am trying to do so in the following: define a vector of length j for( i in 1: length (vector)) { vector[i] = cor.test (datavector1, datavector2[i], method=("spearman")) } I would like the reported Spearman's rho to be saved in a vector. I have tried a few different ways of

SEM with a categorical predictor variable
Hi, we are trying to do structural equation modelling on R. However, one of our predictor variables is categorical (smoker/nonsmoker). Now, if we want to run the sem() command (from the sem library), we need to specify a covariance matrix (cov). However, Pearson's correlation does not work on the dichotomous variable, so instead we produced a covariance matrix using the Spearman's (or

Fast Kendall's Tau
Hello. Has any further action been taken regarding implementing David Simcha's fast Kendall tau code (now found in the package pcaPP as cor.fk) into R-base? It is literally hundreds of times faster, although I am uncertain as to whether he wrote code for testing the significance of the parameter. The last mention I have seen of this was in 2010

bug? in stats::cor for use=complete.obs with NAs
Arrrrr, I think I've found a bug in the behavior of the stats::cor function when NAs are present, but in case I'm missing something, could you look over this example and let me know what you think: > a = c(1,3,NA,1,2) > b = c(1,2,1,1,4) > cor(a,b,method="spearman", use="complete.obs") [1] 0.8164966 > cor(a,b,method="spearman",

R/S-Plus/SAS yield different results for Kendall-tau and Spearman nonparametric regression
Colleagues, I ran some nonparametric regressions in R (run in RedHat Linux), then a colleague repeated the analyses in SAS. When we obtained different results, I tested S-Plus (same Linux box). And, got yet different results. I replicated the results with a small dataset: DATA: 37.5 23 37.5 13 25 16 25 12 100 15 12.5 19 50 20 100 13 100 10 100 10 100 16 50 10 87.5

Root mean square on binned GAM results
Hi, Standard correlations (Pearson's, Spearman's, Kendall's Tau) do not accurately reflect how closely the model (GAM) fits the data. I was told that the accuracy of the correlation can be improved using a root mean square deviation (RMSD) calculation on binned data. For example, let 'o' be the real, observed data and 'm' be the model data. I believe I can calculate

cor.test p-value ties
R: I got a warning message when running the cor.test function using both Spearman and Kendall rank correlations saying that the p-value may be incorrect due to ties in the data. My data has 35 obs and one series has 6 pairs of ties. Does anyone know if this would likely have a great effect on the p-values calculated.. The values look good; tau = -0.68 with p-value = 8e-9 and rho = =0.84

Kendall's tau
A search of the archives did not reveal an answer: For basic tests of association, where one has no a priori knowledge of the form of the relation or of the distributions of the variables, rank correlation seems like a good start. Why is cor.test() with Kendall and Spearman options relegated to the ctest package, rather than in the base package? Does this suggest that the developers consider
