SN-008065 ***Alert Sas Note***
Kendall Partial Tau b Correlation Coefficients are incorrect when a
variable has zero variance and the PARTIAL statement is used
Product: Base SAS
Component: CORR procedure
Priority: ALERT
If you are using a PARTIAL statement, and if any of the analysis
variables have a standard deviation of zero, then the Kendall Partial
Tau b Correlation Coefficients are incorrect. The coefficients that are
produced are actually the unpartialed Kendall's Tau b correlations.
To circumvent the problem, remove the variables for which the STD Dev is
zero.
