stat.cor {ANTs} R Documentation

## Correlation test on permuted data.

### Description

This function is the first step in the process to create a correlation test in permuted data. For more details about correlation tests, see R documentation.

### Usage

stat.cor(ant, var1, var2, method = "pearson", progress = TRUE)


### Arguments

 ant an ant data object originating from permutations var1 an integer or string indicating the column in the data frames that corresponds to the first variable to correlate. This variable must be numerical. var2 an integer or string indicating the column in the data frames that corresponds to the second variable to correlate.This variable must be numerical. method a string vector indicating which type of correlation to perform: 'pearson' for pearson correlation 'kendall' for kendall correlation 'spearman' for spearman correlation progress a boolean indicating the visualization of the permutation process.

### Details

Performs correlations tests in a data frame and extracts the t statistic.

### Value

a vector of 3 elements: the t statistic, the degree of freedom, and the estimate.

### Examples

t=met.strength(sim.m,sim.df,1) # Computing network metric
t=perm.net.nl(t,labels='age',rf=NULL,nperm=10,progress=FALSE) # Node label permutations
r.c=stat.cor(t,'age','strength',progress=FALSE) # Permuted correlation test
