Correlation Matrix

This function produces the matrix of correlations between all quantitative variables in a dataframe.

cor_matrix(X,type="pearson")

Arguments

• X: A data frame
• type: Either pearson or spearman. If pearson, the Pearson correlations are returned. If spearman, the Spearman's rank correlations are returned.

Details

This function filters out any non-numerical variables and provides correlations only between quantitative variables. Best for datasets with only a few variables. The correlation matrix is returned (with class matrix).
