I think what you have done should be fine. read.table() will return a data frame, which cor() can handle happily. For example:
my.data <- read.table("file.csv", header = TRUE, row.names = 1, sep=",", strip.white = TRUE) # assign your data to "my.data" cor(my.data) # calculate the correlation matrix between all variables (columns) of my.data What happens if you try that? ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
