Generic function for the correlation
This function compute the symbolic correlation
cor(x, ...) ## Default S3 method: cor( x, y = NULL, use = "everything", method = c("pearson", "kendall", "spearman"), ... ) ## S3 method for class 'symbolic_interval' cor(x, y, method = c("centers", "billard"), ...) ## S3 method for class 'symbolic_tbl' cor(x, ...)
x |
A symbolic variable. |
... |
As in R cor function. |
y |
A symbolic variable. |
use |
An optional character string giving a method for computing covariances in the presence of missing values. This must be (an abbreviation of) one of the strings 'everything', 'all.obs', 'complete.obs', 'na.or.complete', or 'pairwise.complete.obs'. |
method |
The method to be use. |
Return a real number in [-1,1].
