In nevrome/varnastats: Analyse some aspects of prehistoric burial sites

Description

newcorrtable returns an empty correlation matrix of a data.frames columns or rows. Empty means: filled with the numeric value "0". This correlation matrix data.frame can be used to store the results of functions which calculate correlation values for all bivariate relations.

Usage

newcorrtable(matrix, dim = 1)

Arguments

matrix	data.frame
dim	switch to define, whether the new correlation matrix should be created for columns or rows. 1 (default): table is created for column (variables) relations. 2: table is created for row (objects) relations.

Value

empty correlation matrix data.frame

Examples

testmatrix <- data.frame(c1 = c(5,2,3,8), c2 = c(5,6,7,0), c3 = c(5,6,7,9))

# correlation table is created for the columns of the input data.frame testmatrix
newcorrtable(testmatrix)
newcorrtable(testmatrix, 1)
corrtabcolumns <- newcorrtable(matrix = testmatrix, dim = 1)

# correlation table is created for the rows of the input data.frame testmatrix
newcorrtable(testmatrix, 2)
corrtabrows <- newcorrtable(matrix = testmatrix, dim = 2)
