mcc {PharmacoGx} | R Documentation

## Compute a Mathews Correlation Coefficient

### Description

The function computes a Matthews correlation coefficient for two factors provided to the function. It assumes each factor is a factor of class labels, and the enteries are paired in order of the vectors.

### Usage

    mcc(x, y, nperm = 1000, setseed = 12345, nthread = 1)

### Arguments

`x, y` | factor of the same length with the same number of levels
`nperm` | number of permutations for significance estimation. If 0, no permutation testing is done
`setseed` | seed for permutation testing
`nthread` | can parallelize permutation texting using parallel's mclapply

### Value

A list with the MCC as the $estimate, and p value as $p.value

### Examples

    x <- factor(c(1,2,1,2,3,1))
    y <- factor(c(2,1,1,1,2,2))
    mcc(x,y)
