Breaking Changes

  - Removes winsorize() function, which now lives in datawizard package.

New Features

  - New cor_smooth() function for smoothing non-positive definite
    matrices.

Bug Fixes

  - When data2 was specified correlation() was over-correcting for all
    of the combinations of variables in the full x and y tables, rather
    than in just the ones specified (#195).

Minor Changes

  - correlation() gains a new argument rename to rename variables.

  - simualte_simpson() function is now re-exported from bayestestR
    package.

  - plot() for "easycor_test" objects now produces an annotated scatter
    plot.

                 Changes in version 0.6.1 (2021-04-09)

  - correlation gains two new arguments: select and select2 to select
    specific variables from dataframes to compare (#146).

  - as.matrix method works for grouped correlations (#148).

  - New as.list method returns a list of various matrices related to
    correlation analysis (correlation, number of observations, p-values,
    etc.).

Bug Fixes

  - The 0.6.0 release introduced a bug in Winsorized Pearson correlation
    where the missing values were removed from the entire data, instead
    for each pair (#151). This is now fixed.

                 Changes in version 0.6.0 (2021-02-12)                  

New Features

    argument to .1 when it's set to TRUE.

    correlation method used.

Bug Fixes

  - Winsorization doesn't fail when NAs are present (#130).

Minor Changes

  - Fixed CRAN check issues due to changes in dependent packages.

    display(format = "markdown").

Bug fixes

  - Fix bug in cor_to_p() that gave slightly different test statistics.

Bug fixes

  - Fixed issue in correlation() for some edge cases when
    include_factors = TRUE.
