sudoCoefParcorH: Peudo regression coefficients from hybrid generalized partial...

In generalCorr: Generalized Correlations, Causal Paths and Portfolio Selection

Peudo regression coefficients from hybrid generalized partial correlation coefficients (HGPCC).

Description

This function gets HGPCCs by calling parcorVecH function. Pseudo regression coefficient of a kernel regression is obtained by HGPCC*(sd dep.var)/(sd regressor), that is multiplying the HGPCC by the standard deviation (sd) of the dependent variable and dividing by the sd of the regressor.

Usage

sudoCoefParcorH(mtx, ctrl = 0, verbo = FALSE, idep = 1)

Arguments

mtx	Input data matrix with p (> or = 3) columns,
ctrl	Input vector or matrix of data for control variable(s), default is ctrl=0 when control variables are absent
verbo	Make this TRUE for detailed printing of computational steps
idep	The column number of the dependent variable (=1, default)

Value

A p by 1 ‘out’ vector pseudo partial derivatives

Note

Hybrid Generalized Partial Correlation Coefficients (HGPCC) allow comparison of the relative contribution of each X_j to the explanation of X_i, because GPCC are scale-free. Hybrid refers to use of OLS residuals. Now pseudo hybrid regr coeff are HGPCC*(sd dep.var)/(sd regressor)

We want to get all partial correlation coefficient pairs removing other column effects. Vinod (2018) shows why one needs more than one criterion to decide the causal paths or exogeneity.

Examples

set.seed(234)
z=runif(10,2,11)# z is independently created
x=sample(1:10)+z/10  #x is partly indep and partly affected by z
y=1+2*x+3*z+rnorm(10)# y depends on x and z not vice versa
mtx=cbind(x,y,z)
sudoCoefParcor(mtx, idep=2)
