Permutation-based hypothesis testing for the rank distance correlation

Description

Permutation-based hypothesis testing for the rank distance correlation.

Usage

rdcor.test(y, x, B = 499)

Arguments

y

A numerical vector.

x

A numerical vector or a numerical matrix.

B

The number of permutations to implement.

Details

Permutation-based hypothesis testing between y and x or between y and each column of x is performed.

Value

If x is a vector a vector with the rank distance correlation and the permuation-based p-value. If x is a matrix, this returns a matrix with two columns: the rank distance correlation and the permutation-based p-value.

Rank distance correlation

Description

Rank distance correlation.

Usage

rdcor(y, x)

Arguments

y

A numerical vector.

x

A numerical vector or a numerical matrix.

Details

This computes the rank distance correlation between y and x, or between y and each column of x.

Value

A vector with the rank distance correlation().

Rank distance correlation matrix

Description

Rank distance correlation matrix.

Usage

rdcor.mat(x, B = 1)

Arguments

x

A numerical matrix.

B

The number of permutations to implement to compute the p-value. If B = 1, no p-value is returned.

Details

The function computes the rank distance correlation matrix and optionally performs permutation-based hypothesis testing.

Value

A list including:

r

The rank distance correlation matrix.

pvalue

A matrix with the associated p-values, if B>1, otherwise NULL.
