getTable: Get correlation tables for data frames.

In kthorstmann/horst: Functions for the processing of questionnaire data

Description

A function to generate correlation tables that can be easily transformed to APA tables.

Usage

getTable(data, apa = F, xlsx = F, xlsxName = "Result_getTable",
  diag = "", diag2 = "", round = 3, ...)

Arguments

data	The data frame for which the correlations should be computed. Non-numerics are excluded from further processing
apa	logical, apa Should APA style be approximated, leading to a table with an empty upper half. Default is to FALSE.
xlsx	logical, shoudl an xlsx-file be produced? Default is to FALSE.
xlsxName	The name of the resulting xlsx-file, if xlsx = TRUE. Default is to Result getTable.
diag	The value that should be displayed in the first diagonal of the resulting table, e. g. mean. Default is empty.
diag2	The value that should be displayed in the second diagonal of the resulting table, e. g. var. Default is empty.
round	The number of digits that should be displayed. Is passed on to round. Default is 3.
...	Other parameters passed on to pearson.cor.

Details

This is a function that returns a table of correlations and, depending on apa, a table that is losely formatted as an apa table. Pearson correlations (using cor of all variables are computed. Their signifcance levels are also reported, based on the function cor.test from the Hmisc-package.

Value

Returns a data frame with correlations. See Details.
