Question

Why does the squared curvilinear correlation referred to as a partial η2 for that component?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The  partial eta measures the strength of a non-linear or curvilear  association. Actually it is a measure of association between a scale and a categorical variable. It has been observed over and over that categorical data does  not show a linear relationship with scale data. So the relationship is non-linear. When the relationship is not linear we can not use the normal R squared. Eta or partial eta coefficient can be used to measure strength of linear relationship but it is better to use Pearson' R squared.
