It is a statistical term used to describe the relationship between two variables while holding other related variables constant. Example: "The study found a significant partial correlation between income and education level, after controlling for factors such as age and location."
A Tutorial on Regularized Partial Correlation Networks.
Pearson's partial correlation coefficients between anthropometric indicators were computed, adjusting for baseline age and cohort.
Possible mediator effects were controlled in these analyses by partial correlation.
The difference between full and partial correlation was primarily driven by the prevalence of short-range connections in the partial correlation map (mean distance=17.6 mm) versus the full correlation map (mean distance=43.4 mm) (Fig. 6c).
To further assess the relation between structural connectivity and functional connectivity, we compared the structural connectome to a partial correlation-based functional connectome, under the assumption that partial correlation should remove the effects of indirect functional connections14.
The regularized partial correlation network provides information about variable interrelations after controlling for all other included variables.
L2-regularized partial correlation was estimated for each session using the rags2ridges R package61 with lambda=0.0001.
But there seems to be only a very partial correlation between economic anxiety and Trumpism, and a much stronger one between his supporters and residual racial suspicions.
Band power was ln-transformed before partial correlation analysis.
Table 3 Partial correlation coefficients between valence and information content.
The partial correlation showed that known risk factors accounted for only 5% of the covariance between arteriolar and venular calibers.
