This function computes the standard error of a Pearson or partial correlation using the estimated correlation, sample size, and number of control variables. The correlation, along with the standard error output from this function, can be used as input in the meta.ave.cor.gen function in applications where a combination of different types of correlations are used in the meta-analysis.
se.cor(cor, s, n)
estimated Pearson or partial correlation
number of control variables (set to 0 for Pearson)
sample size
Returns a one-row matrix:
Estimate - Pearson or partial correlation (from input)
SE - standard error
