df2bstat: computes bivariate statistics from a data frame
In rbsb: set of ancillary functions

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Data being supposed to be a data frame: observations by rows, variables by columns being numeric or factor; standard bivariate statistics are computed for each couple of variables.

1	df2bstat(data, nbmin=80)

`data`	Date frame containing the data set. NA values are accepted.
`nbmin`	(`numeric(1)`) Minimum number of observations required to compute the statistics for each variable couple.

a symmetric matrix having rows and columns associated to the variables. When the couple is numeric/numeric: the Pearson correlation; categoric/categoric: the first eigen values of {n\_ij/(n\_i+.n\_+j)}; numeric/categoric: the Pearson correlation giving to the categoric the values of mean of the numeric.
