In many fields of science, it is difficult to remove entirely all of the confounding variables, especially outside the controlled conditions of a lab. A well-plannedexperimental design, and constant checks, will filter out the worst confounding variables. ...
, temporal, road, and environmental characteristics as confounders were also focused in earlier studies. These background variables were considered crucial as they have the capability to influence the behavior of truck drivers and could also offer a more thorough understanding of the subject in play....
Variables are anything that has an amount or characteristic that varies. In research, these variables can be independent, dependent, confounding, extraneous, and moderated.Answer and Explanation: Confounding variables are outside interference that affect both the independent and dependent variable. It is...
a confounding variable is an extra variable entered into the equation that was not accounted for. Confounding variables can ruin an experiment and produce useless results. They suggest that there are correlations when there really are not. In an experiment, the independent variable generally has an...
Early results in using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on x-rays to diagnose disease have been promising, but it has not yet been shown that models trained on x-rays from one hospital or one group of hospitals will work equally well at different hospitals. Before these tools are used ...

The confounding variables that will be controlled during the experiment are the following. Subject’s technical skillsTo control the variability caused by each subject on their partner, pairs are kept the same during the entire experiment, although the subjects are not informed about this fact unti...
