corr

Description

Computes the Pearson Correlation Coefficient for two Columns.

Usage

corr(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'Column'
corr(x, col2)

corr(x, colName1, colName2,
  method = "pearson")

Arguments

x

...

additional argument(s). If x is a Column, a Column should be provided. If x is a SparkDataFrame, two column names should be provided.

col2

colName1

the name of the first column

colName2

the name of the second column

method

Optional. A character specifying the method for calculating the correlation. only "pearson" is allowed now.
