Partial correlation
Description
The function pcor can calculate the pairwise partial correlations for each pair of variables given others. In addition, it gives us the p value as well as statistic for each pair of variables.
Usage
pcor(x, method = c("pearson", "kendall", "spearman"))
Arguments
| x | a matrix or data fram. | 
| method | a character string indicating which partial correlation coefficient is to be computed. One of "pearson" (default), "kendall", or "spearman" can be abbreviated. | 
Details
Partial correlation is the correlation of two variables while controlling for a third or more other variables. When the determinant of variance-covariance matrix is numerically zero, Moore-Penrose generalized matrix inverse is used. In this case, no p-value and statistic will be provided if the number of variables are greater than or equal to the sample size.
Value
| estimate | a matrix of the partial correlation coefficient between two variables | 
| p.value | a matrix of the p value of the test | 
| statistic | a matrix of the value of the test statistic | 
| n | the number of samples | 
| gn | the number of given variables | 
| method | the correlation method used | 
Note
Missing values are not allowed.

Semi-partial (part) correlation
Description
The function spcor can calculate the pairwise semi-partial (part) correlations for each pair of variables given others. In addition, it gives us the p value as well as statistic for each pair of variables.
Usage
spcor(x, method = c("pearson", "kendall", "spearman"))
Arguments
| x | a matrix or data fram. | 
| method | a character string indicating which semi-partial (part) correlation coefficient is to be computed. One of "pearson" (default), "kendall", or "spearman" can be abbreviated. | 
Details
Semi-partial correlation is the correlation of two variables with variation from a third or more other variables removed only from the second variable. When the determinant of variance-covariance matrix is numerically zero, Moore-Penrose generalized matrix inverse is used. In this case, no p-value and statistic will be provided if the number of variables are greater than or equal to the sample size.
Value
| estimate | a matrix of the semi-partial (part) correlation coefficient between two variables | 
| p.value | a matrix of the p value of the test | 
| statistic | a matrix of the value of the test statistic | 
| n | the number of samples | 
| gn | the number of given variables | 
| method | the correlation method used |
