Question

I would like to make a correlation matrix like the one below. However, R keeps telling me

'Error in eigen(corr) : infinite or missing values in 'x''

Correlation matrix circles

I think this may be caused by NA values in my matrix. However, when I try to remove them by adding

'na.rm=TRUE,' it doesnt seem to help

circle.corr( cor(Plant, na.rm=TRUE,), order = TRUE, bg = "gray50", 
    col = colorRampPalette(c("blue","white","red"))(100) )

I have already loaded the function provided in the link above

Is it possible to create a new data.frame with the NA’s removed? if so, how?

Answer 1

Without data is hard to help you , but the error because your correlation matrix contains NA and eigen can’t compute the eigen values in this cases.

This should work :

circle.corr( cor(Plant,use = "complete.obs"),   # NA are removed
      order = TRUE, bg = "gray50",
      col = colorRampPalette(c("blue","white","red"))(100) )
