partialcor function

Calculate partial correlations

Calculate partial correlation coefficients and confidence limits via Fishers z-transform

partialcor(formula, data, level = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

• formula: formula speciying the covariates and optionally the outcomes to calculate partial correlation for
• data: data.frame
• level: Level of confidence limits
• ...: Additional arguments to lower level functions

Returns

A coefficient matrix

Examples

m <- lvm(c(y1,y2,y3)~x1+x2)
covariance(m) <- c(y1,y2,y3)~y1+y2+y3
d <- sim(m,500)
partialcor(~x1+x2,d)
