ci_cor | R Documentation |
This function calculates confidence intervals for a population correlation coefficient. For Pearson correlation, "normal" confidence intervals are available (by stats::cor.test
). Also bootstrap confidence intervals are supported and are the only option for rank correlations.
ci_cor( x, y = NULL, probs = c(0.025, 0.975), method = c("pearson", "kendall", "spearman"), type = c("normal", "bootstrap"), boot_type = c("bca", "perc", "norm", "basic"), R = 9999, seed = NULL, ... )
x |
A numeric vector or a |
y |
A numeric vector (only used if |
probs |
Error probabilites. The default c(0.025, 0.975) gives a symmetric 95% confidence interval. |
method |
Type of correlation coefficient, one of "pearson" (default), "kendall", or "spearman". For the latter two, only bootstrap confidence intervals are supported. The names can be abbreviated. |
type |
Type of confidence interval. One of "normal" (the default) or "bootstrap" (the only option for rank-correlations). |
boot_type |
Type of bootstrap confidence interval ("bca", "perc", "norm", "basic"). Only used for |
R |
The number of bootstrap resamples. Only used for |
seed |
An integer random seed. Only used for |
... |
Further arguments passed to |
Bootstrap confidence intervals are calculated by the package "boot", see references. The default bootstrap type is "bca" (bias-corrected accelerated) as it enjoys the property of being second order accurate as well as transformation respecting (see Efron, p. 188).
