Dear R community, I am using 6 variables to test for an effect (by linear regression). These 6 variables are strongly correlated among each other and I would like to find out the number of independent test that I perform in this calcuation. For this I calculated a matrix of correlation coefficients between the variables (see below). But to find the rank of the table in R is not the right approach... What else could I do to find the effective number of independent tests? Any suggestion would be very welcome! Thanking you and with my best regards, Georg.
