    Partial Correlation

    Uploaded by

    Sanjana Prabhu
    This document discusses partial correlation analysis, which examines the relationship between two variables (X and Y) while removing the influence of a third variable (Z). A partial correlation is the correlation between the parts of X and Y that are independent of Z. This helps identify correlations that are explained by or masked by other variables. The partial correlation coefficient quantifies the correlation between X and Y after adjusting for the third variable Z. An example shows how partial correlation can reveal relationships between health funding, doctor visits, and disease diagnosis when controlling for the number of visits.

    Partial Correlation QARM

    The goal of science is to identify relationships among variables. Ideally, the goal is to identify
    casual relationships. If X, then Y??? One of the conditions necessary for causality is isolation.
    A relationship between X and Y must persist after all other influences on Y have been ruled out.
    In research, control means control of variance or in short removal of desired factors. In examining
    the relationship between X (an IV*) and Y (a DV**), we want to control for an extraneous***
    variable Z. The goal is to remove Zs influence on Y, such that Z accounts for no systematic variation
    in Y scores
    A partial correlation is a correlation Between two variables (X and Y) in which the effects of a third
    variable(Z) Have been removed from both X and Y The correlation between the part of X that is
    independent of Z with the part of Y that is independent of Z.
    This type of analysis helps spot spurious correlations (i.e. correlations explained by the effect of
    other variables) as well as to reveal hidden correlations - i.e correlations masked by the effect of
    other variables. The central concept in partial correlation analysis is the partial correlation
    coefficient
    between variables x
    The partial correlation coefficient
    between x and y adjusted for z may be computed from the
    pairwise values of the correlation between variables x ,y, and z and y , adjusted for a third variable
    z.

    *IV= Independent variable, DV**= Dependent variable


    Extraneous variable***= undesirable variables that influence the relationship between the variables that an
    experimenter is examining

    Example: It has been seen people who got money for health checkup , they are more likely to visit
    doctor for checkup henceforth they are more likely to diagnosed with diseases
