calculating a subset of correlations

Post by ukuvainik »

Dear Jamovi team,

I seek to calculate the correlation profile of a variable. For example, I am interested in correlation of a single smoking variable with 200 personality variables across 80k individuals. If I calculate a correlation matrix, it will take forever, as the full matrix is calculated. Is there any way to estimate only the first column of a correlation matrix? Or can the correlation matrix be calculated in a quicker fashion? I have disabled significance testing, but it is still slow.

Thanks!
