Or is the average over a larger number of intensities? Is there anything that distinguishes the readings? <br> <br> How did you select the tissues?<br> Are there subsets of the cases that have a known characteristic?<br> <br> Several people at the Classification Society meeting a couple of weeks ago dealt with this kind of problem. I suggest that you clarify your question and post it to <br> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sunysb.edu/index.cgi?A0=CLASS-L">http://lists.sunysb.edu/index.cgi?A0=CLASS-L</a><br> <br> It would greatly reduce the size of the analysis by doing correlations of those you are specifically interested WITH&nbsp; selected sets of the others. The curse of dimensionality will still be a major consideration.<br> <br> Art Kendall<br> Social Research Consultants<br> spobster wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:24192550.post@talk.nabble.com" type="cite">As an answer to everybody: I will try to explain. The data are the result of micro-array analysis. Using 30000 different probes specific for the different genes on the human genome, expression of these genes in 79 different tissues was tested. All probes have an average value of intensity from duplicates for each of the 79 tissues. I will try to expain what I want with the correlations: I want to make the correlations to find out which genes have a similar expression pattern throughout these 79 tissues. Of course, there are some genes of special interest to me, and it is most exciting to see which other genes belong to the group containing these genes. However, I realize that the groups might be not tightly defined, and therefore it is interesting to see also the correlation from borderline genes with each gene within such a group. If the total correlation option is not possible, then I hope that some of you can come up with a nice option to classify the different genes according to their tissue expression. If you have more questions concerning my approach, please don't hesitate to ask! Thanks everybody!!

Do you think this is doable? I am a complete SPSS &gt; noob, so if you get back to me with a syntax code or file, &gt; could you please explain me in detail what I should change &gt; in this (filename, or row numbers etc.) before running? &gt; &gt; Thanks already so much! &gt; &gt; spobster &gt; &gt; &gt; View this message in context: SPSS &gt; Bivariate Correlations using Pearsons LIMITED? &gt; &gt; Sent from the SPSSX &gt; Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. &gt; &gt; ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU">LISTSERV@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU</a> (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.
