| correlation {agricolae} | R Documentation |
It obtains the coefficients of correlation and p-value between all the variables of a data table. The methods to apply are Pearson, Spearman , Kendall and lin's concordance index. In case of not specifying the method, the Pearson method will be used. The results are similar to SAS.
