apa.cor.table() is only limited to Pearson's method.

[jooyoungseo]

The current apa.cor.table() is fixed to Pearson's r for its method. Would there be any way for you to allow users to choose their desired correlation method among "pearson," "spearman," and "kendall"?

[jdnewell]

I just found your "apaTables" package and I think it is terrific! I would also like to encourage extending apa.cor.table() to be able to select between the pearson, spearman and kendall methods of correlation. In the documentation it would be helpful to say that only pearson correlations are supported at this time.

Also thanks for the package. I have modified the apa.cor.table and now it uses the psych package as a dependency and allows you to specify the correlation type. See attached code.

Thanks Eric!!

I forgot, you'll need to implement a few other modified functions for this to work. located in this file. Just source the file in R. I recommend and downloading all the functions for this package and then replacing the modified files with their corresponding ones from the package and then loading them manually but using source()

Hi Eric,

Something seems to still go wrong for me? " object 'RtfTable' not found" This seems crucial to export the table to word. I can't seem to figure out how that part of the code works though?

[eric-kruger]

Hmm. Not sure where that error is occurring. The previous modification may not have been complete. Attached is a .zip file of all the R functions with modifications. Make sure that you specify the correlation method is "kendall" otherwise it defaults to pearson.

Thank you, @eric-kruger ! I was looking for this. I'll use it in my work and leave a feedback.

Hi Eric,

I'm interested in this as well. I downloaded the zip-file, but it won't open. Something seems to be wrong with the zip-file...

Hi Eric, thanks for your contribution to this package. However, when I tried the modified function you provided, I got error that I did not get "txt.number" function. Any ideas about this error?

I solved this problem, and I thought you may want to know it. After replacing the functions with those from Eric, you need to source() at least these function:

source("D:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.3/library/apaTables/doc/apaCorrelationTable_mod.R")
source("D:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.3/library/apaTables/doc/apaTables.R")
source("D:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.3/library/apaTables/doc/rtfMakeTable.R")
source("D:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.3/library/apaTables/doc/rtfMakeDocument.R")

HI Eric Ive been using your apa.cor.table function and it seems to be giving me the wrong means. My means should be between 50 and 60, but instead they are all well below 1. The values of the correlations are also different from what I get when running a basic correlation function ms <- cor(mean_speed[,7:32]) round(ms, 2) Any reason why this may be the case?

Thank you for your time

Hi Eric, I was looking for this as well. I get the same: error message when opening the zip file. Any idea why?

Hi, I'm struggling to find these files in my library. I don't seem to have a doc subfolder - could you assist?

I am having the same issue here; any help would be appreciated! (even just links to the basic steps for noobs)
