Correlation

Description

Compute the (Pearson) correlation matrix of a Filebacked Big Matrix.

Usage

big_cor(
X,
ind.row = rows_along(X),
ind.col = cols_along(X),
block.size = block_size(nrow(X))
)


Arguments

 X An object of class FBM. ind.row An optional vector of the row indices that are used. If not specified, all rows are used. Don't use negative indices. ind.col An optional vector of the column indices that are used. If not specified, all columns are used. Don't use negative indices. block.size Maximum number of columns read at once. Default uses block_size.

Value

A temporary FBM, with the following two attributes:

• a numeric vector center of column scaling,

• a numeric vector scale of column scaling.

Matrix parallelization

Large matrix computations are made block-wise and won't be parallelized in order to not have to reduce the size of these blocks. Instead, you may use Microsoft R Open or OpenBLAS in order to accelerate these block matrix computations. You can also control the number of cores used with bigparallelr::set_blas_ncores().

Examples

X <- FBM(13, 17, init = rnorm(221))

# Comparing with cor
K <- big_cor(X)
class(K)
dim(K)
K\$backingfile

true <- cor(X[])
all.equal(K[], true)

# Using only half of the data
n <- nrow(X)
ind <- sort(sample(n, n/2))
K2 <- big_cor(X, ind.row = ind)

true2 <- cor(X[ind, ])
all.equal(K2[], true2)
