Dear list, I have the following how-to-do it in R, questions. Suppose I have ten independent variables, and one dependent variable. I want to find the Pearson correlation of all the IVs with the DV, but not the correlation between the IVs.
What I know so far, about R, that I have to type the cor () function ten times, each time requesting for a correlation between one IV and the DV. I was wondering that is there a way that I can accomplish what I want with a single function or a fewer line of codes. My final goal is to create a table in Microsoft word comprising of ten rows, each row for each independent variable and its correlation with the DV. Based on what I know, I’ll be typing cor (IV,,DV), ten times, and then typing the values in the table in MS Word. Secondly, I would like to create a table that provides the details of means and standard deviations, of multiple variables. The variables are ratings scores of likert type items. What I’d like to do is to construct a table, where each row has the question, its mean and standard deviation. I know that using the psych package, I can have the mean of each item in the scale, but, how to develop a table that has the item, mean, and SD on a same row? I do not know. Thank you for reading my questions. Regards, Faiz. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
