Numeric vector, matrix, or data frame. When y and z are NULL, the full pairwise semi-partial correlation matrix is returned via ppcor::spcor.

y

Optional second numeric vector.

z

Optional numeric vector / matrix of control variables.

method

Correlation method ("pearson", "spearman", or "kendall"), forwarded to ppcor.

...

Further arguments forwarded to the upstream function.
