																	How to read correlation matrix. 
									
	
		
	
																	A correlation matrix is a table showing correlation coefficients between sets of variables. 
																	Create your own correlation matrix. 
																	In statistics the correlation coefficient r measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables on a scatterplot. 
																	A perfect downhill negative linear relationship. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The correlation coefficient can range in value from 1 to 1. 
																	The value of r is always between 1 and 1. 
																	To interpret its value see which of the following values your correlation r is closest to. 
																	A correlation matrix conveniently summarizes a dataset. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The larger the absolute value of the coefficient the stronger the relationship between the variables. 
																	You may find it helpful to read this article first. 
																	Correlation matrix with significance levels p value the function rcorr in hmisc package can be used to compute the significance levels for pearson and spearman correlations it returns both the correlation coefficients and the p value of the correlation for all possible pairs of columns in the data table. 
																	A correlation close to 0 indicates no linear relationship between the variables. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	For the pearson correlation an absolute value of 1 indicates a perfect linear relationship. 
																	Each random variable x i in the table is correlated with each of the other values in the table x j this allows you to see which pairs have the.
