Sums of squares, degrees of freedom, mean squares, and f. The simplest partial correlation involves only three variables, a predictor variable, a predicted variable, and a control variable. It also has the same residuals as the full multiple regression, so you can spot any outliers or influential points and tell whether theyve affected the estimation of this particular.
