correlation 0.8.8

• correlation() gains a missing= argument, similar to stats::cor(use=), for controlling how missing data is handled.

• correlation() converts numeric input variables automatically into factors when method = "polychoric".

correlation 0.8.7

• The format() method for objects of class easycormatrix gets a zap_small argument, to round very small numbers.

• cor_sort() can now deal with non-square matrices.

• Updated required R version to >= 4.1.0 (released May 2021) to pass CRAN checks on documentation

correlation 0.8.6

• Fix CRAN check issues.

correlation 0.8.5

• New cormatrix_to_excel() function for exporting correlation matrices to Excel with color formatting.
• This release changes the licensing model of {correlation} to an MIT license.

correlation 0.8.4

• Minor improvements and code revisions due to changes in other packages.

• Default color scheme for correlation matrices switched to use red for negative values and blue for positive values.

correlation 0.8.3

Breaking Changes

• distance_mahalanobis() is deprecated. Use performance::check_outliers(method = "mahalanobis_robust") instead.

• The minimum needed R version has been bumped to 3.6.

Minor Changes

• Fixes breakages caused by updates to parameters package (#269).

• The visualization recipe (plots) for redundant correlation matrices was improved, so self-correlations will no longer be labelled and get a neutral color.

• The print() method redundant correlation matrices no longer shows the diagonal with self-correlations.

correlation 0.8.2

• Maintenance release for datawizard package update.

correlation 0.8.1

• Maintenance release for datawizard package update.

correlation 0.8.0

Breaking Changes

• robust argument, which was deprecated in favour of ranktransform in 0.6.1 release, has now been removed.

correlation 0.7.1

Bug Fixes

• Bug fix in plot() methods

correlation 0.7.0

Breaking Changes

• Removes winsorize() function, which now lives in datawizard package.

New Features

• New cor_smooth() function for smoothing non-positive definite matrices.

Bug Fixes

• When data2 was specified correlation() was over-correcting for all of the combinations of variables in the full x and y tables, rather than in just the ones specified (#195).

Minor Changes

• correlation() gains a new argument rename to rename variables.

• simualte_simpson() function is now re-exported from bayestestR package.

• plot() for "easycor_test" objects now produces an annotated scatter plot.

correlation 0.6.1

Breaking Changes

• simualte_simpson(): The groups are now named after the pattern "G_" (can be altered with the group_prefix argument).

• robust argument deprecated in favour of ranktransform.

New Features

• correlation gains two new arguments: select and select2 to select specific variables from dataframes to compare (#146).

• as.matrix method works for grouped correlations (#148).

• New as.list method returns a list of various matrices related to correlation analysis (correlation, number of observations, p-values, etc.).

Bug Fixes

• The 0.6.0 release introduced a bug in Winsorized Pearson correlation where the missing values were removed from the entire data, instead for each pair (#151). This is now fixed.

correlation 0.6.0

New Features

• Added verbose arguments to some functions, to toggle warnings on/off.

• cor_test() (and hence, correlation()) now default the winsorize argument to .1 when it’s set to TRUE.

• The Method column in output dataframe is now more explicit about the correlation method used.

Bug Fixes

• Winsorization doesn’t fail when NAs are present (#130).

Minor Changes

• Fixed CRAN check issues due to changes in dependent packages.

correlation 0.5.0

Changes

• Added winsorize() function.

• Added winsorize argument for Winsorized correlations.

• Added method = "somers" to correlation(), to compute Somers’s Dxy rank correlation for binary outcomes.

• New function display(), to print output into different formats. Currently, only markdown is supported. print_md() is an alias for display(format = "markdown").

Bug fixes

• Fix bug in cor_to_p() that gave slightly different test statistics.

correlation 0.4.0

Changes

• Don’t error if less than 3 valid observations (#100).

• Add “gaussian” rank method.

• Add “gamma” method.

• Add “hoeffding” method.

• Add “blomqvist” method.

Bug fixes

• Added Method column to Bayesian correlations.

• Fix bug when robust=TRUE (#87).

correlation 0.3.0

Changes

Bug fixes

correlation 0.2.1

Changes

• Added confidence intervals CI support for Spearman and Kendall (#80)

• Improved documentation (#45, #63)

Bug fixes

• Removed CI threshold column from distance_mahalanobis()

• Fixed bug (#76)

correlation 0.2.0

Changes

• Some changes were made.

Bug fixes

• Some bugs were fixed.

correlation 0.1.0

Changes

• Initial CRAN release.

• Add plot()-method for summary().

Bug fixes

• Fixed issue in correlation() for some edge cases when include_factors = TRUE.

• Fixed issue in correlation() for correlation coefficients with less than four complete pairs of observations (in such cases, cor_test() now returns NA for the confidence intervals).
