Calculate correlation with a continuous variable

Description

aldex.corr calculates the expected values for the correlation between each feature and a continuous variable, using data returned returned by aldex.clr and a vector of the continuous variable. Returns results of Pearson, Spearman and Kendall tests.

Usage

aldex.corr(clr, cont.var)

Arguments

clr

An ALDEx2 object. The output of aldex.clr.

cont.var

A continuous numeric vector

Value

Returns a data.frame of the average Pearson, Spearman and Kendall coefficients and their p-values for each feature, with FDR appended as a BH column.
