calculate correlalations of multicolumn data
This is a wrapper for calculating correlation and significance against each column of the data provided.
table.Correlation(Ra, Rb, ...)
Ra |
a vector of returns to test, e.g., the asset to be examined |
Rb |
a matrix, data.frame, or timeSeries of benchmark(s) to test the asset against. |
... |
any other passthru parameters to |

# First we load the data data(managers) table.Correlation(managers[,1:6],managers[,7:8]) result=table.Correlation(managers[,1:6],managers[,8]) rownames(result)=colnames(managers[,1:6]) require("Hmisc") textplot(format.df(result, na.blank=TRUE, numeric.dollar=FALSE, cdec=rep(3,dim(result)[2])), rmar = 0.8, cmar = 1.5, max.cex=.9, halign = "center", valign = "top", row.valign="center" , wrap.rownames=20, wrap.colnames=10, mar = c(0,0,3,0)+0.1) title(main="Correlations to SP500 TR") ctable = table.Correlation(managers[,1:6],managers[,8,drop=FALSE], conf.level=.99) dotchart(ctable[,1],labels=rownames(ctable),xlim=c(-1,1))
