\title{Compute the correlation}
\usage{
compute_cor(data_group_1, data_group_2, type_of_cor)
}
\arguments{
\item{data_group_1}{This is a n*p matrix.}

\item{data_group_2}{This is a n*p matrix.}

\item{type_of_cor}{If this is NULL, pearson correlation coefficient will be calculated as 
default. Otherwise, a character string "spearman" will calculate the spearman correlation
coefficient.}
}
\value{
A list of correlation matrices for both group 1 and group 2.
}
\description{
This function computes either the pearson or spearman correlation coefficient.
