R Documentation

Finds columns that have a high degree of correlation with this_clm

Description

Takes this_clms and compares it to all other columns of my_df using stats::cor.test. If the absolute value of that row is greater than acceptable_similarity, then the either a boolean is returned true or the similar columns are returned.

Usage

find_similar_clms(
  this_clm,
  my_df,
  test_clms = NULL,
  acceptable_similarity = 0.9,
  return_boolean = T,
  my_key = get_default_sample_key(),
  corr_method = "spearman"
)

Arguments

`this_clm`	string to specify column that will be compared to the others
`my_df`	`data.frame` to search
`test_clms`	character vector of columns to test. If left blank all, but `this_clm` and `my_key` will be checked.
`acceptable_similarity`	number to indicate the max absolute rho value that will be allowed with other columns.
`return_boolean`	boolean to specify if a boolean is returned or the `found_clms`
`my_key`	string to specify key column of the `data.frame`
`corr_method`	string to specify the test used for the correlation. Passed to `method` arg of `stats::cor.test`
