## Partial correlation coefficients

### Description

Obtains partial correlation coefficients from a given concentration matrix.

### Usage

    qpK2ParCor(K)

### Arguments

`K` | positive definite matrix, typically a concentration matrix.

### Details

This function applies `cov2cor` to the given concentration matrix and then changes the sign of the off-diagonal entries in order to obtain a partial correlation matrix.

### Value

A partial correlation matrix.

    set.seed(123)
    g <- randomEGraph(as.character(1:n.var), p=0.15)

    Sigma <- qpG2Sigma(g, rho=0.5)
    K <- solve(Sigma)

    round(qpK2ParCor(K), digits=2)
