In de tabel kan je zien dat de correlatie tussen x en y zeer groot is (0.96). Ook de partiële correlatie (waarbij de controlevariabele z, die een vertekenend effect heeft op het verband) wordt weggelaten, blijft de correlatie groot.Dit wil zeggen dat z geen grote invloed had op het verband. Hetzelfde is zichtbaar bij de correlatie tussen y en z. 
Bij verband tussen x en z daarentegen kan men zeggen dat de controlevariabale y een groot vertekend effect heeft op het verband. De partiële correlatie is hier namelijk negatief.

Juiste berekening, geen interpretatie. De partiÃ«le correlatie geeft het verband tussen 3 verschillende variabelen, waarbij het probleem van de 3de variabele wordt aangepakt. Extra variabelen kunnen de oorzaak zijn van een schijncorrelatie of zouden de correlatie tussen 2 variabelen een vertekenend beeld kunnen geven. Bij de berekening van de correlatie moet er steeds een derde variabele (Z) zijn die een grote invloed uitoefent op de 2 andere variabelen X en Y. Je kan aan de resultaten zien dat door toevoeging van de derde variabele de correlatie sterk veranderd. Vaak treedt het probleem op dat men niet goed weet welke nu juist die derde variabele is.

Juiste berekening, maar geen interpretatie. Wat betreft de interpretatie verwijs ik naar bovenstaande opmerkingen.
