Partial vs. Multiple Correlation Explained

This document discusses partial and multiple correlation. Partial correlation is used when there are three variables to calculate the correlation between two variables while controlling for the third. Multiple correlation deals with situations involving three or more variables, with one dependent variable and the others being independent variables. Examples are provided on calculating partial and multiple correlation coefficients from given correlation data.

Partial correlation
 Used in a situation where three and four
variables involved.

 Three variables such as age, height &
weight.

 The correlation b/w height & weight can
be computed by keeping age
constant.

 Denoted by “ r12.3 ”

QUESTION
 From the following data, calculate the
correlation b/w variable 1 & 2 keeping
the 3rd constant.
 r12 = 0.7 ; r13 = 0.6 ; r23 = 0.4

 Solution :-
Multiple correlation
 Dealing with situations that involve
three or more variables.

 One dependent & rest are independent.

 Dependent variable is always denoted
by X1 & others by X2, X3, X4, etc.
question
 The following zero-order, correlation
coefficients are given-
 r12 = 0.98 ; r13 = 0.44 & r23 = 0.54

 Calculate multiple correlation


coefficient treating 1st variable as
dependent & rest are independent.

 Solution:-
