hi @ all, I have problem with creating a matrix for a cor() function. I try to use the cor() function on a matrix to test the correlation between each value in a column. Maybe like corr(x, method = xyz). My x has two columns maybe like this: MEDIA VALUE Car 23 Train 26 Plane 25 Cab 22 Bike 15 .... and so on.

Now I want to calculate the correlation between Car and Train, Car and Plane, Train and Plane and so on.
If the above is your data, then you have indeed no clue what the word "correlation" means. Please look it up in a textbook and find why you cannot calculate it for this kind of data. If you do not find, please ask a local statistician for help. Uwe Ligges
Sorry but I don't have a clue and I hope there is an easy way to solve my problem. Thanks a lot for all answers. Greetz Geo -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Matrix-for-correlation-tp4119590p4119590.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
