Re: st: Partial correlations from correlation matrix

["Michael N. Mitchell" <Michael.Norman.Mitchell@gmail.com>]

How about using -corr2data-, see

http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?corr2data

to convert the correlation matrix into a dataset, and then you can use commands like 
-pcorr- on the dataset?
I hope that helps,
