ZT
ZT is a free software tool which performs simple
and partial Mantel tests. Contrary to the simple Mantel test, which tests
the correlation between only two matrices, the partial Mantel test investigates
the correlation between two matrices while controlling the effect of a third
one, and thus tries to remove spurious correlations. The zt software is
written in the C programming language, both for speed of computation and
for being able to handle very large matrices. The paper gives a general
introduction of the simple and partial Mantel tests, describes the algorithm
in detail and finally describes some concrete examples based on real datasets.
The zt software is released under GNU's global public license.
