This function can be used to adjust the data for the effect of other variables present in the dataset. It is based on an underlying fitting of regressions models, allowing for quite some flexibility, such as including factors as random effects in mixed models (multilevel partialization), continuous variables as smooth terms in general additive models (non-linear partialization) and/or fitting these models under a Bayesian framework. The values returned by this function are the residuals of the regression models. Note that a regular correlation between two "adjusted" variables is equivalent to the partial correlation between them.

A data frame comparable to data, with adjusted variables.
A data frame.
Character vector of column names to be adjusted for (regressed
out). If NULL (the default), all variables will be selected.
Variables that will be included when performing the required tasks. Can be either
a variable specified as a literal variable name (e.g., column_name),
a string with the variable name (e.g., "column_name"), or a character
vector of variable names (e.g., c("col1", "col2", "col3")),
a formula with variable names (e.g., ~column_1 + column_2),
a vector of positive integers, giving the positions counting from the left
(e.g. 1 or c(1, 3, 5)),
a vector of negative integers, giving the positions counting from the
right (e.g., -1 or -1:-3),
one of the following select-helpers: starts_with(), ends_with(),
contains(), a range using : or regex(""). starts_with(),
ends_with(), and contains() accept several patterns, e.g
starts_with("Sep", "Petal").
or a function testing for logical conditions, e.g. is.numeric() (or
is.numeric), or any user-defined function that selects the variables
for which the function returns TRUE (like: foo <- function(x) mean(x) > 3),
ranges specified via literal variable names, select-helpers (except
regex()) and (user-defined) functions can be negated, i.e. return
non-matching elements, when prefixed with a -, e.g. -ends_with(""),
-is.numeric or -(Sepal.Width:Petal.Length). Note: Negation means
that matches are excluded, and thus, the exclude argument can be
used alternatively. For instance, select=-ends_with("Length") (with
-) is equivalent to exclude=ends_with("Length") (no -). In case
negation should not work as expected, use the exclude argument instead.
If NULL, selects all columns. Patterns that found no matches are silently
ignored, e.g. extract_column_names(iris, select = c("Species", "Test"))
will just return "Species".
See select, however, column names matched by the pattern
from exclude will be excluded instead of selected. If NULL (the default),
excludes no columns.
If TRUE, the factors are included as random factors.
Else, if FALSE (default), they are included as fixed effects in the
simple regression model.
If TRUE, continuous variables as included as smooth terms
in additive models. The goal is to regress-out potential non-linear
effects.
If TRUE, the models are fitted under the Bayesian framework
using rstanarm.
If FALSE (default), the intercept of the model is
re-added. This avoids the centering around 0 that happens by default
when regressing out another variable (see the examples below for a
visual representation of this).
Logical, if TRUE and when one of the select-helpers or
a regular expression is used in select, ignores lower/upper case in the
search pattern when matching against variable names.
Logical, if TRUE, the search pattern from select will be
treated as regular expression. When regex = TRUE, select must be a
character string (or a variable containing a character string) and is not
allowed to be one of the supported select-helpers or a character vector
of length > 1. regex = TRUE is comparable to using one of the two
select-helpers, select = contains("") or select = regex(""), however,
since the select-helpers may not work when called from inside other
functions (see 'Details'), this argument may be used as workaround.
