Hi,
How can I accomplish this in R. Example:
I have the following data.frame:
data <-
data.frame(x=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,5,3,7,1,0,4,8),y=c(1,2,1,2,2,2,1,1,1,2,2,2,2),z=c(5,8,4,3,4,1,6,3,3,6,3,5,7))
Supposing that data$y is a factor, I would like to find the Spearman
correlation between data$x and data$z indexing it by data$y.
To be more specific, I want to find two correlations: between x and z with y==1
and the same correlation with x and z where y==2.
Something like:
cor(data$x[data$y==1],data$z[data$y==1],method= "spearman") and
cor(data$x[data$y==2],data$z[data$y==2],method= "spearman"),
but without having to write all the values for data$y and use cor more than
once.
I hope I made myself clear.
Thanks
Mateus
