Option for NAs

[ddalevi]

Would be nice with something similar as you have for the standard cor-function where users can specify how they would like to deal with NA’s. I do agree with the comment "Missing values and cleaning data are critical to getting great correlations" but a function like this is very convinient when having a few NAs in some columns.

Let me look into this. I have had several students contact me about this, and I will consider.

For sure, in binarize(), just having an option to convert NAs into a separate bin would minimize this issue and is very easy to implement.

Otherwise, in the case of a numeric variable for example, you would have to drop the missing observations or convert numeric NAs into an arbitrary value (e.g. zero), which would both distort (statistical bias) the analysis in unpredictable ways.

Having the option to break numeric variables in bins by a specified criterion (frequency or interval length for e.g.) instead of number of bins would be useful too.

Despite that, overall another great package, so thanks @mdancho84
