Usage

.weighted_partial_correlation(x, covs, covs_alt = NULL, w = NULL, ncores = 1)

Arguments

x

matrix of variables over which to calculate pairwise correlations

covs

matrix of variables that serve as covariates

covs_alt

alternate matrix of variables that serve as covariates when pairwise correlation is not complete

w

vector of weights

ncores

number of cores over which to parallelize

Value

data.table with weighted pairwise partial correlations
