The function spcor
can calculate the pairwise semi-partial (part) correlations for each pair of variables given others. In addition, it gives us the p value as well as statistic for each pair of variables.

x |
a matrix or data fram. |
method |
a character string indicating which semi-partial (part) correlation coefficient is to be computed. One of "pearson" (default), "kendall", or "spearman" can be abbreviated. |
Semi-partial correlation is the correlation of two variables with variation from a third or more other variables removed only from the second variable. When the determinant of variance-covariance matrix is numerically zero, Moore-Penrose generalized matrix inverse is used. In this case, no p-value
and statistic
will be provided if the number of variables are greater than or equal to the sample size.
estimate |
a matrix of the semi-partial (part) correlation coefficient between two variables |
p.value |

statistic |
a matrix of the value of the test statistic |
n |
