De correlatie geeft het verband weer tussen twee variabele de invloed van de derde variabele is hier nog niet uitgezuiverd. Wat soms kan leiden tot een verkeerde conclusie. De oplossing voor dit probleem is de partial correlatie, deze geeft de correlatie weer tussen twee variabelen na filtering van een derde variabele. De partial correlatie gaat dan kijken welke invloed de derde variabele heeft op de eerste en de tweede variabele.
Als de gewone correlatie dicht bij de partial correlatie ligt is de invloed van de derde variabele zeer klein
Maar ligt de gewone correlatie relatief ver van de partial correlatie dan kunnen we zeggen dat de derde variabele een grote invloed heeft op de andere variabele. Bij gevolg geeft de gewone correlatie een vertekend beeld. Deze invloed kan zowel een negatief als positief zijn.

De gewone correlatie van r(xy) = 0.51094149386468
De partial correlatie r(xy.z) (na zuivering van de variabele Z) = -0.0738948442262762
Z heeft wel een grote invloed op X en Y: de gewone correlatie geeft toch een vertekend beeld

De gewone correlatie van r(xz) = 0.692158324661321
De partial correlatie r(xz.y) (na zuivering van de variabele Y) = 0.546714471485186

Y heeft toch wel een invloed op X en Z: de gewone correlatie geeft een klein vertekend beeld

De gewone correlatie van r(yz) = 0.785838279717345
De partial correlatie r(yz.x) (na zuivering van de variabele X) = 0.696597847767697
