Hello,
I have performed a N integration method to analyze 3 omics data sets (Metabolomic, lipidomic, metagenomic). I obtained a table with superior/inferior values to 1/-1. I don’t really understand how to interprete this values. Could anyone help me to understand?

              comp1         comp2

comp1 0.835343150 -8.230386e-17
comp2 0.004133556 9.049270e-01

hi @Geraldinevit

This is the correlation between components of each data sets. You are reading this incorrectly as they are very very small values, e.g -8.230386e-17 ~ 0.000000000(17 zeroes).82 and 9.049270e-01 = 0.904927
