If there is existing package that works similarly to stats::cor (takes matrix as input and outputs similar output), then this should be already possible with association.fun
parameter --> should be checked
res <- getCrossAssociation(mae, method = "pearson", assay.type2 = "nmr", association.fun = stats::cor)
This issues suggests finding a way to provide user friendly output tables.
Let us run cross-association:
This generates the following table:
CVJT01000011.50.2173 Butyrate -0.15394918 6.711047e-01 0.9882135995 AYSG01000002.292.2076 Butyrate -0.17674170 6.252300e-01 0.9882135995 CCPS01000022.154.1916 Butyrate 0.43730668 2.062956e-01 0.9882135995 EU622687.1.1587 Butyrate 0.06046832 8.682081e-01 0.9882135995 KY646024.1.1591 Butyrate 0.96598301 5.622406e-06 0.0002783091 ...
Now, this is long format of the associations. Also wide format is possible with mode="matrix". However, that could be obtained separately for the different columns only.
When preparing material for publication, we sometimes want to show the effect size and FDR in the same table, like effect sizes first, then FDR in parentheses:
A 1.5 (0.05) 0.9 (0.001) B 0 (0.8) 0.3 (0.1)
Ideally, there is function (already in some package?) that allows one to merge the effect sizes and p-values into a single table presentation like this? If not, we could think about providing such utility. Simple but pragmatic. It probably should be an independent function, rather than one more option in the already complex getCrossAssociation function.
