Hi, I'm currently trying to find/define a relationship between one dependent and several independant variables. The problem is that i cannot use the normal multiple regression/correlation in Spss because the data is not normal distributed. i calculated the spearman roh and Kendalls tau Correlation and also some partial correlations in R. Now i wanna find out the the multiple correlation

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 all, Suppose my data frame is as follows: id price distance 1 2 4 1 3 5 ... 2 4 8 2 5 9 ... n 3 7 n 8 9 I would like to calculate the rank-order correlation between price and distance for each id. cor(price,distance,method = "spearman") calculate a correlation for all. Then I tried to use apply(data,list='id',cor(price , distance , method =

Hi all, Is there a convenient way to calculate Spearman correlation coefficients in R?

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))

Hallo, does anybody know if there is an implementation of the Spearman rank correlation in R that gives a correct (or at least 'safe') p-value in the case of ties?? I have browsed the R-help archives but I found nothing. Thanks a lot in advance for any help, Antonino Casile

Hi, How can I make the cor(x, y, method="spearman") call to produce an error when the input to it (x, y) produces an error? Here is a simple example: > a <- c(0, 1, 2) > b <- c(100, 2, 4) ## error: > log(a) [1] -Inf 0.0000000 0.6931472 ## error, as expected: > cor(log(a), log(b), method="pearson") [1] NaN ## not an error any more (not expected): >

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,

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 the following two measurements stored in mat: > print(mat) [,1] [,2] [1,] -14.80976 -265.786 [2,] -14.92417 -54.724 [3,] -13.92087 -58.912 [4,] -9.11503 -115.580 [5,] -17.05970 -278.749 [6,] -25.23313 -219.513 [7,] -19.62465 -497.873 [8,] -13.92087 -659.486 [9,] -14.24629 -131.680 [10,] -20.81758 -604.961 [11,] -15.32194 -18.735 To calculate the ranking

Hi, What I'm trying to achieve is very fast algorithm for fitting logistic regression model. I have to estimate regression coeficients using about 10k observations. Once I have coefficients estimated, new 100 rows of data becomes available.... Now I need to reestimate coeficients using 100 newly arrived observations and removing 100 oldest observations. So, my question is would it be

Hello, I would be grateful if anybody can help me in finding an R function to compute weighted Spearman correlation coefficient? Kind regards, Daniel

Hello, I calculate the correlation between two matrices cor(x,y, method="spearman") and I am wondering if it possible to see only the significant correlations. I can do that for single OTUs with cor.test() command but I would like to have an output for whole matrix. Besides,I would like to plot the relative abundance of each OTU, against the number of significant pair-wise correlations

Hi If I get a p-value less than 0.05 does that mean there is a significant relation between the 2 ranked lists? Sometimes I get a low correlation such as 0.3 or even 0.2 and the p-value is so low , such as 0.000001 , does that mean it is significant also? and would that be interpreted as significant low positive correlation or significant moderate positive correlation? Also,can R calculate the

hello help, i''ve searched through the manual pages and the only reference i can find to spearman rank correlation is cor.test, which only seems to give the significance value of the correlation. is there any way to get the actual value of rho? david. [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

R-help(ers), Does anyone know of an R function available for calculating a confidence interval for a Spearman correlation? If no such resource is available, is using the confidence interval from a Pearson correlation a reasonable proxy if the vectors come from normal distributions (i.e. likely indistinguishable from the true confidence interval in error bars of an autocorrelogram or correlation

Hi, I am using R 1.8.1 on WinXP. I encounter a problem when trying to compute a Spearman correlation under certain conditions (at least I think there is a problem, but maybe this is the normal behavior). > X<-array(0,c(20,2)) > > X[,1]<-c(runif(10),rep(NA,10)) > X[,2]<-c(runif(10),rep(NA,10)) > > Y<-X[1:10,] > >

Hello, I would like to do a PCA with dudi.pca or PCA, but also with the use of Spearman or Kendall correlations Is it possible ? Otherwise, how can I do, according to you ? Thanking you in advance Eric Bourgade RTE France [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have just encountered a strange behaviour from 'cor' with regards to the treatment of NAs when calculating Spearman correlations. I guess it is a subtle bug. If I understand the help page correctly, the two modes 'complete.obs' and 'pairwise.complete.obs' specify how to deal with correlation coefficients when calculating a correlation _matrix_.
