Olkin & Finn (1995) developed expressions for confidence intervals for functions of simple, partial, and multiple correlations. This paper describes procedures and computer programs for solving these problems using the methods described by Olkin and Finn. The programs extendthe methods for any number of predictors or for partialing out any number of variables.
