R: Converts precision matrix to partial correlation matrix

wi2net {qgraph} | R Documentation

## Converts precision matrix to partial correlation matrix

### Description

A small function that converts a precision matrix (inverse of covariance matrix) to a partial correlatin matrix. This can be done by standardizing the precision matrix and changing the sign of the offdiagonal entries. Many methods exist for obtaining a precision matrix (Such as the glasso package; Friedman, Hastie and Tibshirani, 2011) but the partial correlation matrix is easier interpretable and better usuable in qgraph.

### Usage

    wi2net(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A precision matrix

### Value

A partial correlation matrix
