Compute Correlation

This function computes the correlation between summary scores.

It is a wrapper around corr.test function.

Usage

computeSigScoresCorrelation(
  data,
  adjust = "BH",
  method = c("pearson", "spearman", "kendall"),
  ...
)

data: data frame, output of computeSigScores
adjust: What adjustment for multiple tests should be used? ("holm", "hochberg", "hommel", "bonferroni", "BH", "BY", "fdr", "none"). See p.adjust for details about why to use "holm" rather than "bonferroni").
method: method="pearson" is the default value. The alternatives to be passed to cor are "spearman" and "kendall". These last two are much slower, particularly for big data sets.
