weighted_abs_mean_cors: Weighted Absolute Mean of Correlations

In brshallo/piececor: Tidy Piecewise Correlations

Description

Returns the weighted mean of the absolute value of the correlations (with Fisher's Z transformation applied if fisher_z_transform is left as TRUE).

Usage

weighted_abs_mean_cors(cors_mods, fisher_z_transform = TRUE)

Arguments

cors_mods	List of lists of mods and cors of the form returned by running piececor::piecewise_cors().
fisher_z_transform	Logical. Default is TRUE. If FALSE, simply calculates the means of cor weighted by n_obs for each dataframe in cors. If TRUE applies Fisher's z transformation on correlations of individual segments prior to calculating weighted mean (then applies inverse).

Value

Dataframe with variables of interest in name column and weighted mean correlation (across segments) in value for each dataframe in cors_mods$cors.

Warning

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_transformation and https://www.researchgate.net/post/How-to-calculate-the-weighted-average-of-correlations-per-outcome for information on Fisher's z transformation. Appropriate methods for calculating weighted correlations should be further investigated.
