Thanks very much for this very useful guide. Very clear and easy to follow. I had to make one slight alteration to the syntax - rowtype_ was in captials for me - but thanks to your clear description I was easily able to spot this. Thank you for making this!
Thank you so much for this video and syntax- couldn't find anything like this online to help me with my MSc dissertation. Very clear and easy to follow. Excellent job.
Thank you so much! Super helpful! Is there a way how I can see the descriptive statistics too... as I need to include Mean and Std. in the partial correlation table please?
Hi Steven, I was trying to use this video (thanks for it) and I got an error in the last step that somebody already showed on the board. The text says "The MATRIX subcommand on the PARTIAL CORR command specifies an input file which does not contain a correlation matrix for the current splitfile group. Within cell matrices are not acceptable. A correlation matrix has a row type of "CORR". Any idea what could be the cause? I made sure both RECODE and PARTIAL CORR have active the "Unnamed" file, as you show in the video. Thanks a lot. Eduardo
Great tutorial, thank you!!! Do you also have a code for a non-parametric semipartial correlation? Because the controlling variable influences only one of the two variables and your help with this would be sooo useful for my masters thesis.
Hi there, I'm trying to repeat this with my data file split and I'm getting an error saying: The MATRIX subcommand on the PARTIAL CORR command specifies an input file which does not contain a correlation matrix for the current splitfile group. Within cell matrices are not acceptable. A correlation matrix has a row type of "CORR". How can I fix this? Thanks.
Thank you so much I was so stressed out for my thesis because SPSS does not perform non parametrical partial correlation. You helped me so much thank you.
Sir I am excited to use it in my research as my data set does not following normal distribution. Can I take more than one variables as control variables? Pls respond. Thank u so much sir.

Thank you, this is helpful! May I ask if I can use PAIRWISE deletion for NONPAR CORR to obtain the correlation matrix and PAIRWISE deletion for PARTIAL CORR? I tried PAIRWISE for NONPAR CORR and it was ok. However, I got an error message and the syntax refused to give me the partial correlation for pairwise. In this case, does it mean SPSS can only produce nonparametric partial correlation with LISTWISE deletion? Thank you in advance.
Thank you for the video. As I need to do a spearman's rank correlation with MI data and SPSS only gives the option for Pearson's partial correlation, would it be possible to rank the variables (create their rank version) and run a Pearson's partial correlation but with these variables? would this be the same what the syntax would do?
Hi Meredith, What you can do in SPSS is plot these through a linear regression. Go to: Analyze -> Regression -> Linear Regression Put one of the variables of interest in the Dependent window and the other in the block below, along with any covariates you wish to control for. Then click the Plots button and tick the option for 'Produce all partial plots'. Then run the test. One of the graphs produced will be the graph you are after. Hope that helps!
If your data satisfies the assumptions of a linear regression, then sure. Mainly, you need to see if your residuals are normally distributed. This link may help: blog.uwgb.edu/bansalg/statistics-data-analytics/linear-regression/what-are-the-four-assumptions-of-linear-regression/
Thank you. My data does not meet the assumptions of linear regression unfortunately so I will need to figure out a different way to plot the results of my partial correlation. If you have any suggestions please let me know!

You are very welcome
@@StevenBradburn Are you aware if there is a limit to the amount of covariates you can add in one go please?
I found I forgot to click the green button (at 3:14 in the video). Once I corrected this step, the next step would run correctly. Thank you!
This saved my entire assignment, thank you so much 🙏
Very helpful
Thanks a lot
The video was clear and easy to understand. And the code works! Thanks!
Really useful, couldn't find this anywhere else. Thank you so much!
Very easy to follow. Thank you so much, I was able to quickly solve this issue!
Extremely useful video.Thank you for posting.
So excited, I am going to try that now!!
Great video! Thanks a lot :)
Thank you very much. How about to know which is the most partial correlated ? I mean if we have many variable of partial correlation ?
Thank you so much! Super helpful! Is there a way how I can see the descriptive statistics too... as I need to include Mean and Std. in the partial correlation table please?

I don't understand why did you change it to Pearson's rank? Isn't this supposed to be non parametric i.e. Spearman's rank? Please help.

Hi, really useful video. Is there a way to get the confidence intervals for a non-parametric partial correlation? Thanks in advance
I just want to know that...
YOU ARE MY SAVIOUR!
You are welcome :)
Wow!!! Love it! Thanks so much!
You're so welcome!
Is it possible to do a power analysis on partial spearman correlation?
how about doing non parametric correlation with the residuals, after calculating the residuals using linear regression?

You are very welcome. I am glad it helped out. All the best for your thesis.
@@StevenBradburn But wait....spearman test is not a partial corelation test is it?

How to create scatterplot for partial spearman correlation?

Is possible to do a Scatterplot that represents the results from this analysis (spearman partial correlation)?
Thank you for the video.

Do you know if there I any way to exclude data from the partial correlation "PAIRWISE"?
superb bro
any tips on how to graph these results?

Is it ok to use a regression even with a non-normally distributed data set though?
If your data satisfies the assumptions of a linear regression, then sure. Mainly, you need to see if your residuals are normally distributed.

Ah, sorry about that Meredith. If you find out a solution to this, please let us know as I am also intrigued as to how this can be done. Goodluck!
wait....spearman is a bivariate test not partial corelation!
