[R] test to compare significant correlation increase

[Mike Lawrence]

Just a guess (please correct if I'm way off on this), but maybe you  
could look at the difference in r betwen 1 & 2 and see if the  
confidence interval (http://davidmlane.com/hyperstat/B8544.html) for  
this value given your sample size includes 0.
