Abstract

This paper provides a critical evaluation of the procedure that Naroll has suggested for using partial correlation to control for the effects of diffusion on estimates of functional relationships. An examination of par tial correlation and Naroll's formula shows that they are not consistent. Hypothetical data are used to demonstrate that Naroll's formula does not provide good estimates of the true functional relationships.
