This function sorts an associationMatrix
ascendingly or descendingly by one
of its columns.
# S3 method for associationMatrix
sort(x, decreasing = TRUE, byColumn = 1, ...)
The associationMatrix
object to sort.
Whether to sort ascendingly (FALSE) or descending (TRUE).
Which column to sort the matrix by, as an index.
Passed on to sort
.
The associationMatrix
, but sorted.
Note that if the associationMatrix
contains values of different effectsizes,
the sorting may be misleading. For example, a value of Cohen's d of .45 is higher
than a value of Pearson's r of .35, and so will end up higher in a 'decreasing'
sort - even though the association represented by an r of .35 is stronger than
that represented by a d of .45.
Furthermore, only asymmetrical associationMatrices can be sorted; sorting a symmetrical association matrix would also change the order of the columns, after all.
# NOT RUN {
sort(associationMatrix(infert, y=c("parity", "age"),
x=c("induced", "case", "spontaneous"), colNames=TRUE));
# }
