pearson_: Pearson Correlation Calculus Function

Description

This function calculates the pearson correlation of two vectors of numbers.

Usage

pearson_(x,y)

Arguments

x

Should be a vector

y

Should be a vector

Value

Numeric, the pearson correlation of two vectors of numbers.

Details

To calculate the pearson correlation, the user should give two vectors of numbers. The result is the covariance of the two vectors of numbers divided by the product of their standard deviations. The pearson correlation formule is the following:

Examples

# NOT RUN {
    #data creation
    data = c(1,4,3,3,2,5,7,12,1,2,3,12)
    data2 = c(1,2,4,4,6,5,11,2,10,5,6,1)
    pearson_(data, data2)
  
# }
