In AntonioJBT/episcout: Quickly Clean, Explore and Visualise Large Epidemiological Datasets

Get the lower triangle from a correlation matrix

Description

Keep only the lower triangle of the correlation matrix Useful to create a nicer heatmap. Requires the original, unmelted correlation matrix with both correlation (r) and p-values (P).

Usage

epi_stats_corr_triangle(cormat = "cormat_all$cormat")

Arguments

cormat

a matrix object (usually the output of Hmisc::rcorr() or episcout::epi_stats_corr()). Default 'cormat_all$cormat'

Value

Returns a list object melted_triangles containing the lower triangle of the correlation matrix (cormat) with the correlation (cormat_melted_triangle_r) and p-values (cormat_melted_triangle_pval).
