[R] Missing Value And cor() function

[vincent.stoliaroff@socgen.com]

Hi r lovers!

I 'd like to apply the cor() function to a matrix which have some missing values
As a matter of fact and quite logically indeed it doesn't work
Is there a trick to replace the missing value by the mean of each variable or by any other relevant figures ?
Or should I apply a special derivate of the cor() function, (I don't have any idea if it exists and have some trouble to figure out how it could)
to skip this trouble?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions and help

Vincent
