The Evaluation of Multiple and Partial Correlation Coefficients from the Factorial Matrix | Psychometrika | Cambridge Core (original) (raw)

Abstract

This paper shows how to compute multiple correlation coefficients, partial correlation coefficients, and regression coefficients from the factorial matrix. Special emphasis is given to computation technique and to approximation formulas. The method is extremely flexible in application since it may be applied to any subset of the original set of observed variables. It is also extremely useful when many of these coefficients are desired.
