Calculate Correlation between Two Vectors

This function calculates the Spearman (default) or Pearson correlation coefficient and its associated p-value between two vectors. It automatically handles missing values.

Usage

correlation_calculate(vector_x, vector_y, method = "spearman", ...)

Arguments

vector_x

A numeric vector.

vector_y

A numeric vector of the same length as vector_x.

method

A character string specifying the correlation method ("spearman" or "pearson"). Defaults to "spearman".

...

Pass to cor.test.

Value

A list with the correlation coefficient and p-value.

See also

correlation_draw for plotting correlation results.

Examples

vector_x <- c(1, 2, 2, 4, 5)
vector_y <- c(5, 6, 7, 8, 7)
result <- correlation_calculate(vector_x, vector_y, method = "pearson")
