Preferred term

partial correlation  

Definition

  • Partial correlation is the correlation between two variables with the effect of (an)other variable(s) held constant. An often-quoted example is the correlation between the number of storks and the number of babies in a sample of regions, where the correlation disappears when the degree of rurality is held constant.
