Re: [R] Ranking correlation with R

2010-04-14 Thread David Nemer
Hello Guys, thank you all very much for the help!

Sorry for my total lack of knowledge in R... so I did the correlation.. and
got these results:

 cor(A, C, method = spearman)
[1] 0.4922165
 cor(B, C, method = spearman)
[1] 0.1922412
 cor(A, B, method = spearman)
 [1] -0.00889328

I don't know how to interpret them... so the correlation is good when it is
really close to 1 or to 0? What about negative correlation??

Cheers,

 Try this:

  A - c(file1.java, file3.java, file2.java)
  B - c(file2.java, file4.java, file1.java)
  cor(A, B, method = spearman)
 [1] 0.5

  Ranking list 2:
  fiile2.java

  file1.java
 
  I need to see how much are these two ranking lists are alike, get a
  correlation between them. I dont even know where to start. Can anyone
 bring
  me some light or tips? Thank you in advance.

[R] Ranking correlation with R

Hey Everyone,

Ranking list 2:
