I have two data matrices that I want to make the correlation between each column from data1 and each column from data 2 and also calculate the p-value Matrices dont have the same size and I tried such a script. > bg <- read.table (file.choose(), header=T, row.names) > bg > Otu00022 Otu00029 Otu00039 Otu00042 Otu00101 Otu00105 Otu00125 Otu00131 > Otu00137 Otu00155 Otu00158 Otu00172 Otu00181 Otu00185 Otu00190 Otu00209 > Otu00218 > Gi20Jun11 0.001217 0 0.001217 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.001217 0 0 0 0 0 0.001217 0 > 0.001217 > Gi40Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 > 0.000000 > Gi425Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 > 0.000000 > Gi45Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.001513 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 > 0.000000 > Gi475Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 > 0.000000 > Gi50Jun11 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0 > 0.000000 ag <- read.table (file.choose(), header=T, row.names)
for (i in 1:(ncol(bg))) for (j in 1:(ncol(ag))) print(c(i,j)) final_matrix <- matrix(rep("0",ncol(bg)*ncol(ag)),ncol=ncol(bg),nrow=ncol(ag)) cor <- cor.test(as.vector(as.matrix(bg[,i])),as.vector(as.matrix(ag[,j])), method="spearman") #but the output is not matrice with all the values but a single correlation value data: bg[, i] and ag[, j] t = 2.2992, df = 26, p-value = 0.02978 alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: 0.04485289 0.67986803 sample estimates: cor 0.4110515 # How I can creat an outfile with all the correlations and p-values?
