This function returns a correlation matrix as a correlation data frame in
the following format:
A tibble (see tibble
)
An additional class, "cor_df"
A "term" column
Standardized variances (the matrix diagonal) set to missing values by
default (NA
) so they can be ignored in calculations.
The use
argument and its possible values are inherited from stats::cor()
:
"everything": NAs will propagate conceptually, i.e. a resulting value will be NA whenever one of its contributing observations is NA
"all.obs": the presence of missing observations will produce an error
"complete.obs": correlations will be computed from complete observations, with an error being raised if there are no complete cases.
"na.or.complete": correlations will be computed from complete observations, returning an NA if there are no complete cases.
"pairwise.complete.obs": the correlation between each pair of variables is computed using all complete pairs of those particular variables.
As of version 0.4.3, the first column of a cor_df
object is named "term".
In previous versions this first column was named "rowname".
There is a ggplot2::autoplot()
method for quickly visualizing the
correlation matrix, for more information see autoplot.cor_df()
.
