[R] pearson or spearman partial correlation coefficient

[Xingwang Ye]

Dear all,       

In SAS, we can use 
    
"proc corr data=a pearson spearman;
        var a;
        partial b c d;
        with e;
run;"
    
to get the partial pearson and spearman correlation coefficient and p value of a with e after adjustment b,c and d.

Are there any built-in functions available in any packages in R to get the partial pearson/spearman correlation coefficient and p value now?  

Thank you.
