2 King (1987) provides an iconoclastic criticism on the inappropriate use of standard regression coefficients, bivariate correlation and partial correlation. Both Heckman (1995) and Goldberger and Manski (1995) severely criticize the ad hoc use of relative importance measures. Ehrenberg's (1990) letter "The unimportance of relative importance," is disdainful of the concept of relative importance in statistics.
