wt_cov: Compute weighted covariances

In psychmeta: Psychometric Meta-Analysis Toolkit

Compute weighted covariances

Description

Compute the weighted covariance among variables in a matrix or between the variables in two separate matrices/vectors.

Usage

wt_cov(
  x,
  y = NULL,
  wt = NULL,
  as_cor = FALSE,
  use = c("everything", "listwise", "pairwise"),
  unbiased = TRUE
)

wt_cor(x, y = NULL, wt = NULL, use = "everything")

Arguments

x	Vector or matrix of x variables.
y	Vector or matrix of y variables
wt	Vector of weights
as_cor	Logical scalar that determines whether the covariances should be standardized (TRUE) or unstandardized (FALSE).
use	Method for handling missing values. "everything" uses all values and does not account for missingness, "listwise" uses only complete cases, and "pairwise" uses pairwise deletion.
unbiased	Logical scalar determining whether variance should be unbiased (TRUE) or maximum-likelihood (FALSE).

Value

Scalar, vector, or matrix of covariances.

Examples

wt_cov(x = c(1, 0, 2), y = c(1, 2, 3), wt = c(1, 2, 2), as_cor = FALSE, use = "everything")
wt_cov(x = c(1, 0, 2), y = c(1, 2, 3), wt = c(1, 2, 2), as_cor = TRUE, use = "everything")
wt_cov(x = cbind(c(1, 0, 2), c(1, 2, 3)), wt = c(1, 2, 2), as_cor = FALSE, use = "everything")
wt_cov(x = cbind(c(1, 0, 2), c(1, 2, 3)), wt = c(1, 2, 2), as_cor = TRUE, use = "everything")
wt_cov(x = cbind(c(1, 0, 2, NA), c(1, 2, 3, 3)),
       wt = c(1, 2, 2, 1), as_cor = FALSE, use = "listwise")
wt_cov(x = cbind(c(1, 0, 2, NA), c(1, 2, 3, 3)),
       wt = c(1, 2, 2, 1), as_cor = TRUE, use = "listwise")
