⚠️There's a newer version (1.6.10) of this package. Take me there.

corpcor (version 1.3.1)

Efficient Estimation of Covariance and (Partial) Correlation

Description

This package implements a shrinkage estimator to allow the efficient inference of large-scale covariance matrices from small sample data. The resulting estimates are always positive definite, much more accurate than the empirical estimate, well conditioned, computationally inexpensive, and require only little a priori modeling. The package also contains similar functions for inferring variances, correlations and partial correlations and partial covariances. In addition, it provides functions for fast svd computation, for computing the pseuoinverse, for checking the rank and positive definiteness of a matrix, and for the computationally fast inversion of the covariance and correlation matrix.
