Distance Correlation Matrix Intrepretation

Question

[jansha.1997]

This is the correlation matrix of Variable 1 against 16 other variables. I have applied the Distance correlation matrix from the R package "Correlation" which I read is suitable for non-linear data. But I am having time interpreting this result as I could not find enough resources on the Distance correlation result interpretation online. Therefore, could someone explain this result to me with the explanation of few variables and the mentioned parameters?

Hi, functions for correlation come 'shipped' ('bundled') with R, including cor() and cor.test(). I am not familiar with the 'correlation' package. In order to better understand the output, perhaps you should do the following:

1. review the code that you have run
2. read the manual + help pages for the functions that you have used

If you wish, please share your code here so that we can check.

In the table that you have shown, it seems that nothing has a statistically significant p-value - they are all equal to 1.
