I'm screening through thousands of variables and would like to only keep ones that are not very highly correlated with each other for example: r2<0.95 and >-0.95. Is there an easy way to do this? I can use: "Multivariate methods > multivariate" to calculate r2, but I have no idea how I can make the selection according to cutoff above.
You can use the pairwise correlations report instead of the default matrix version of the report. Click the red triangle at the top and choose Pairwise Correlations. Next, right-click the new report and select Sort by Column. Select the column with the p-values. Make sure to select the order that is most useful to you (ascending or descending). Right click the report again and select Make into Data Table if you like.
