De berekening is correct maar er is een andere interpretatie voor deze methode. De partiÃ«le correlatie wil zeggen dat een derde variable mogelijk een invloed uitoefend op de 2 variablen waartussen je de correlatie berekend. Zo kan schijn correlatie ontstaan. Bijvoorbeeld : als z een positieve invloed heeft op x en negatieve invloed op y, dus zal de 2 variabelen waartussen je de correlatie wilt berekenen veranderen waardoor je ook andere correlatie hebt tussen x en y. Bij de correlatie tussen x en y kan variabele z een heel andere correlatie geven.

Je geeft hier een verkeerde interpretatie van de bekomen output. De Partial Correlation gebruikt een derde variabele om een eventueel schijnverband tussen de twee andere variabelen op te sporen. De derde variabele kan voor een zeer groot vertekend beeld zorgen, met de partial correlation wordt deze weggelaten en wordt het mogelijke verband tussen de twee andere variabelen duidelijk.

Je berekening is goed maar je geeft een verkeerde initerpretatie. Bij Partial correlation kan/zal een derde variable een schijnverband veroorzaken op de twee oorspronkelijke variabelen.

Je bereking is goed. De interpretatie echter niet. We houden hier rekening met een derde variabele (Z) die mogelijk invloed uitoefent op beide variabelen (X & Y) waarvan je de correlatie berekend. Als je geen rekening houdt met deze derde variabele kunnen er nonsenscorrelaties ontstaan.
