similar to: cor.test(method = spearman, exact = TRUE) not exact (PR#14095)

cor.test and SuppDists give me different P-values for the same Spearman's rho. Which is correct, or am I doing something wrong? > x <- c(44.4, 45.9, 41.9, 53.3, 44.7, 44.1, 50.7, 45.2, 60.1) > y <- c( 2.6, 3.1, 2.5, 5.0, 3.6, 4.0, 5.2, 2.8, 3.8) > cor.test(x,y,method="spearman") Spearman's rank correlation rho data: x and y S = 48, p-value =

Dear R developers: There is a possible bug in calculating the p-value for Spearman's rank correlation. Line 155 in file R-patched/src/library/stats/R/cor.test.R is as.double(round(q) + lower.tail), I think, it should be as.double(round(q) + 2*lower.tail), The reason is that round(q) is expected to be an even number (the S statistic), so the next feasible value is round(q)+2.

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

Full_Name: Jan T. Kim Version: 2.1.0 (and better) OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (139.222.3.229) The p value in Spearman's test is NA if the length of x exceeds 46340, due to an integer overflow, occurring if length(n) > sqrt(2^31): > n <- 46341; > set.seed(1); > x <- runif(n); > y <- runif(n); > cor.test(x, y, method =

There is an even simpler way: someone wrote n*(n^2-1) as n*(n-1)*(n+1) and caused the problem. Your superfluous semicolons do definitely make your code harder to read.

Hi, Is there a limit on the number of observations for using cor.test. For example, > library(ctest) > cor.test(rnorm(3000), rnorm(3000), method="spearman") Error in if (q > (n^3 - n)/6) pspearman(q - 1, n, lower.tail = FALSE) else pspearman(q, : missing value where logical needed In addition: Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion I mainly want to calculate

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

Hi All: help(cor.test) claims For Spearman's test, p-values are computed using algorithm AS 89. Algorithm AS 89 was introduced by the paper D. J. Best & D. E. Roberts (1975), Algorithm AS 89: The Upper Tail Probabilities of Spearman's rho. Applied Statistics, Vol. 24, No. 3, 377-379. Table 1(a) in this paper presents maximum absolute error |\Delta_m|, of the approximation for

Hello R gurus, I want to calculate the Spearman rho between two ranked lists. I am getting results with cor.test that differ in comparison to my own spearman function: > my.spearman function(l1, l2) { if(length(l1) != length(l2)) stop("lists must have same length") r1 <- rank(l1) r2 <- rank(l2) dsq <- sapply(r1-r2,function(x) x^2) 1 - ((6 * sum(dsq))

Dear R, I'm looking for exact p-values for Spearman's rank correlation in the presence of ties. This is available in StatXact and SPSS, but I haven't yet found it in R. Has anyone implemented this? -- Paul H Artes Assist Prof, Ophth Vis Sci Dalhousie University, QEII Eye Care Centre Halifax, NS, CANADA

Dear HelpeRs, I have some data: "ice" <- structure(c(0.386, 0.374, 0.393, 0.425, 0.406, 0.344, 0.327, 0.288, 0.269, 0.256, 0.286, 0.298, 0.329, 0.318, 0.381, 0.381, 0.47, 0.443, 0.386, 0.342, 0.319, 0.307, 0.284, 0.326, 0.309, 0.359, 0.376, 0.416, 0.437, 0.548, 41, 56, 63, 68, 69, 65, 61, 47, 32, 24, 28, 26, 32, 40, 55, 63, 72, 72, 67, 60, 44, 40, 32, 27, 28, 33,

Hi, I am not really familiar with Correlation foundations, although I read a lot. So maybe if someone kindly help me to interpret the following results. I had the following R commands: correlation <-cor( vector_CitationProximity , vector_Impact, method = "spearman", use="na.or.complete") cor_test<-cor.test(vector_CitationProximity, vector_Impact,

Hi. I am currently trying to run some Spearman correlations, and have encountered two issues. 1) When using cor.test() with a variable that includes ties, I get the "Cannot compute exact p-values with ties" error. I have read that this function now uses an asymptotic formula that allows for ties, so do not understand why I am getting this error. (I am running version 2.4.0.) I

Dear colleagues, I teach statistics using SPSS. I want to use R instead. I hit on one problem and I need some quick advice. When I want to work with ordinal variables, in SPSS I can compute the median or create a barchart or compute a spearman correlation with no problems. In R, if I "read" the ordinal variable as numeric, then I cannot do a barplot because I miss the category names. If

In the ouput below, what is the "S" statistic (S = 96) that is used for Spearman? I don't have easy access to the books cited on the help page. Other texts and web sources that I have found use t or z as a test for Spearman, perhaps inappropriately. Can anyone tell me how S is computed or refer to a web resource? I see from the code for that: q <- as.integer((n^3 - n) * (1

Hi, I have a dataset with four categories of data, the number of samples are not the same in each category. I want to find the Spearaman's Rho.
