snp.cor: Correlations with columns of a SnpMatrix

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) See Also Examples

Description

This function calculates Pearson correlation coefficients between columns of a SnpMatrix and columns of an ordinary matrix. The two matrices must have the same number of rows. All valid pairs are used in the computation of each correlation coefficient.

Usage

1
snp.cor(x, y, uncertain = FALSE)

Arguments

x

An N by M SnpMatrix

y

An N by P general matrix

uncertain

If TRUE, uncertain genotypes are replaced by posterior expectations. Otherwise these are treated as missing values

Details

This can be used together with xxt and eigen to calculate standardized loadings in the principal components

Value

An M by P matrix of correlation coefficients

Note

This version cannot handle X chromosomes
