title: Testing Multivariate Partial, Semipartial and Bipartial Correlation Coefficients.
abstract: Stressing the close resemblance between univariate and multivariate situations, it is shown that a proper test for a multivariate semipartial correlation being zero is given by the test for the corresponding partial correlation. No legitimate test seems to be available for bipartial correlations. The procedures proposed by Cohen (1982) and Timm and Carlson (1976) are not well-founded and, in the case of multivariate semipartial correlations, unnecessarily conservative.
