Arguments

w

A vector of observed continuous exposure variable.

c

A data.frame of observed covariates variable.

Examples

set.seed(291)
n <- 100
mydata <- generate_syn_data(sample_size=100)
year <- sample(x=c("2001","2002","2003","2004","2005"),size = n,
 replace = TRUE)
region <- sample(x=c("North", "South", "East", "West"),size = n,
 replace = TRUE)
mydata$year <- as.factor(year)
mydata$region <- as.factor(region)
mydata$cf5 <- as.factor(mydata$cf5)
cor_val <- absolute_corr_fun(mydata[,2], mydata[, 3:length(mydata)])
print(cor_val$mean_absolute_corr)
