Using Thorndike's Case III correction, caseIII
corrects the xy
correlation for direct restriction on z (and by implication, indirect
restriction on x)
1 |
data |
a dataset containing the two incidentally restricted variables (X and Y) and complete information on the selection variable (Z). Conversely, one could supply values for rxy, rzy, and rxz instead. |
x |
The column index (or name) of the X variable |
y |
The column index (or name) of the Y variable |
z |
The column index (or name) of the Z variable (the one used for selection) |
rxy |
the restricted correlation between x (the indirectly selected variable) and y (the outcome variable). |
rzy |
the restricted correlation between z (the selection variable) and y (the outcome variable). |
rxz |
the restricted correlation between x (the indirectly selected variable) and z (the selection variable). |
uz |
the ratio of restricted to unrestricted variance (i.e., sigmaz'/sigmaz). |
The Case III correction is defined as follows insert later The result is an unbiased estimate of the unattenuated correlation between X and Y
a scalar that is the unbiased estimate of the correlation between X and Y.
