Calculates Kendall's tau A for every factor variable pair in a dataset.

Usage

pair_tauA(d, handle.na = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

d

A dataframe

handle.na

ignored. Pairwise complete observations are used automatically.

...

other arguments

Value

A tibble of class pairwise with factor pairs, or NULL if there are not at least two factor variables

Details

Calculated using KendallTauA. Assumes factor levels are in the given order. NAs are automatically handled by pairwise omit.

Examples

 d <- data.frame(x=rnorm(20), 
                 y=factor(sample(3,20, replace=TRUE)), 
                 z=factor(sample(2,20, replace=TRUE)))
 pair_tauA(d)
