Table 6.

Correlation/partial correlation between GC%, RR, DT and NE. In addition, the first-order partial correlations for RR-NE and DT-NE pairs are shown, whereas the first order partial correlations between the other variables had been already shown above.

ρ/partial-ρ	RR	-log(DT)	NE
GC%	0.38/0.33	0.47/0.33	0.69/0.72
RR		0.49/0.33	0.036/-0.28 (cond. on GC% and log(1/DT)) /-0.34 (cond. on GC%) /-0.056 (cond. on log(1/DT))
log(1/DT)			0.17/-0.12 (cond. on GC% and RR) /-0.23 (cond. on GC%) /0.18 (cond. on RR)
