Confounding variable: extra variables that have a hidden effect on your experimental results. Continuous variable: a variable with infinite number of values, like “time” or “weight”. Control variable: a factor in an experiment which must be held constant. For example, in an experiment to de...
A“factor” is a set ofobserved variablesthat have similar response patterns; They are associated with a hidden variable (called aconfounding variable) that isn’t directly measured. Factors are listed according to factor loadings, or how much variation in the data they can explain. ...
Bivariate analysis is a fundamental step in the data analysis process, as it helps researchers and analysts explore the relationships between variables and identify patterns and trends. It provides a foundation for more advanced statistical techniques, such as multivariate analysis, which involves studying...
How to identify the independent variable? The dependent variable? What is the difference between the controlled variable and the controlled group? What is the difference between a research question and a research hypothesis? Statistical testing is the means by which ...
Major efforts in human neuroimaging strive to understand individual differences and find biomarkers for clinical applications by predicting behavioural phenotypes from brain imaging data. To identify generalisable and replicable brain-behaviour predictio

Inflammation may play a role in the mechanism of postoperative delirium (POD), a severe complication among older postoperative patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors of POD in postoperative patients with hip fracture, esp
