Define extraneous variable and confounding variable. Describe two methods used to prevent extraneous variables from becoming confounding variables. Variable: Variables refer to something such as a person, place,
Of these, preoperative Hgb was found to be the variable most highly associated with transfusion (AUC, 0.876). A preoperative Hgb cutoff value of 12.6 g/dL maximized the AUC (0.876) for predicting transfusion across all patients unadjusted for baseline characteristics (sensitivity = 83, specificity...
A) An endogenous variable is explained within the theory, while an exogenous variable influences the endogenous variables but is determined outside the theo In the regression model y = ? 0 + ? 1 x 1 + ? 2 D 1 + ? 3 x 1 x D 1 + u where x 1 us a continuous variable and D_1...

What is an independent and dependent variable? Define correction factor What does unit mean in measurement? What are confounding variables? De...
cells missing measurement for more than 5% of traits were removed. Morphology traits a priori known to be problematic, not measured across all cells or non-variable across cells were removed using Caret v6.0-86 package. QC-ed cells were then segregated into two groups based on the number of...
Applying a continuous risk score via the signed average supervised method we obtained a Cox regression, HR 1.32 (95% CI 0.98–1.78, p = 0.065). The profile was also independent of confounding by metastatic status by multivariable Cox regression (HR 1.32, 95% 0.98–1.77, p = 0.063...
To control for adenovirus-mediated confounding effects, the p532lox cultures were infected with adenovirus GFP as control. The identity of the gender/sex of the animals used to derive the primary cultures is unknown due to omission of recording this information at the time of establishment of ...

A potential pitfall of such models is high and variable intraocular pressures (IOPs) which can lead to retinal ischemia. Thus, animals exceeding an IOP threshold (e.g. > 60mmHg) are often excluded to avoid confounding factors. However, due to the intermittent nature of IOP measurements, this...
