Improving Readability and Functionality of Your R Code: A Case Study with qap Package
The code provided has several issues that can be addressed to improve its readability and functionality. The qaptest() function is not a built-in R function. It seems like you meant to use the qap package, but it’s also not installed by default in R. You are using gcor, g1, and g2 as arguments for qaptest(), which is not standard input for the function. The correct way would be to specify a graph correlation matrix or use a predefined one from the package you’re using, if available.
