causaldag.utils.ci_tests.partial_correlation_test.compute_partial_correlation(suffstat, i, j, cond_set=None)[source]¶

Compute the partial correlation between i and j given cond_set.

Parameters:	suffstat – dictionary containing: ‘n’ – number of samples ‘C’ – correlation matrix ‘K’ (optional) – inverse correlation matrix ‘rho’ (optional) – partial correlation matrix (K, normalized so diagonals are 1). i – position of first variable in correlation matrix. j – position of second variable in correlation matrix. cond_set – positions of conditioning set in correlation matrix.
Returns:	partial correlation
Return type:	float
