get_scatterplotmatrix_stats: Get stats for x-y pairs in scatterplot matrix

Description

Uses stats::cor.test() per default for all numerical input variables and converts results to character vector. Could be extended if different stats for different variable types are needed. Meant to be called from lattice::panel.text().

Usage

get_scatterplotmatrix_stats(
  x,
  y,
  .f = stats::cor.test,
  .f_args = list(),
  round_stat = 2,
  round_pval = 4
)

Value

Character with stats. For stats::cor.test() correlation coefficient and p-value.

Arguments

x, y

(numeric) vectors of data values. x and y must have the same length.

.f

(function) function that accepts x and y as formula input ~ x + y. Default stats::cor.test.

.f_args

(list) of arguments to be passed to .f.

round_stat

(integer(1)) optional, number of decimal places to use when rounding the estimate.

round_pval

(integer(1)) optional, number of decimal places to use when rounding the p-value.

Details

Presently we need to use a formula input for stats::cor.test because na.fail only gets evaluated when a formula is passed (see below).

x = c(1,3,5,7,NA)
y = c(3,6,7,8,1)
stats::cor.test(x, y, na.action = "na.fail")
stats::cor.test(~ x + y,  na.action = "na.fail")

Examples

set.seed(1)
x <- runif(25, 0, 1)
y <- runif(25, 0, 1)
x[c(3, 10, 18)] <- NA

get_scatterplotmatrix_stats(x, y, .f = stats::cor.test, .f_args = list(method = "pearson"))
get_scatterplotmatrix_stats(x, y, .f = stats::cor.test, .f_args = list(
  method = "pearson",
  na.action = na.fail
))
