CalcR2 function

Mean Squared Correlations

Calculates the mean squared correlation of a covariance or correlation matrix. Measures integration.

CalcR2(c.matrix)

Arguments

• c.matrix: Covariance or correlation matrix.

Returns

Mean squared value of off diagonal elements of correlation matrix

Details

Warning: CalcEigenVar is strongly preferred and should probably be used in place of this function.

Examples

cov.matrix <- RandomMatrix(10, 1, 1, 10)

# both of the following calls are equivalent,
# CalcR2 converts covariance matrices to correlation matrices internally
CalcR2(cov.matrix)
CalcR2(cov2cor(cov.matrix))
