Describes Associations as in a Regression Model Analysis.

Description

Computes bivariate association measures between a response and predictor variables, producing a summary looking like a regression analysis.

Usage

darma(y, x, weights = NULL, target = 1,
      na.rm.cat = FALSE, na.value.cat = "NA", na.rm.cont = FALSE,
      correlation = "kendall",
      nperm = NULL, distrib = "asympt", dec = c(1,3,3))

Arguments

y	the response variable
x	the predictor variables
weights	numeric vector of weights. If NULL (default), uniform weights (i.e. all equal to 1) are used.
target	rank or name of the category of interest when y is categorical
na.rm.cat	logical, indicating whether NA values in the categorical variables should be silently removed before the computation proceeds. If FALSE (default), an additional level is added to the categorical variables (see na.value.cat argument).
na.value.cat	character. Name of the level for NA category. Default is "NA". Only used if na.rm.cat = FALSE.
na.rm.cont	logical, indicating whether NA values in the continuous variables should be silently removed before the computation proceeds. Default is FALSE.
correlation	character. The type of measure of correlation measure to use between two continuous variables : "pearson", "spearman" or "kendall" (default).
nperm	numeric. Number of permutations for the permutation test of independence. If NULL (default), no permutation test is performed.
distrib	the null distribution of permutation test of independence can be approximated by its asymptotic distribution ("asympt", default) or via Monte Carlo resampling ("approx").
dec	vector of 3 integers for number of decimals. The first value if for percents or medians, the second for association measures, the third for permutation p-values. Default is c(1,3,3).

Details

The function computes association measures (phi, correlation coefficient, Kendall's correlation) between the variable of interest and the other variables. It can also compute the p-values permutation tests.
