In science, a variable is a detail or condition that can be controlled or perhaps altered in some way. In scientific investigations, studies are designed that contain three different types of variables: dependent, independent and control.
What does manipulated variable mean? What variables must be included in a testable hypothesis? What is test validity? What is bioenergetics testing? What is a randomized double-blind placebo controlled study? What is a positive control? What did the oil drop experiment prove?
Also, if you are afraid that people will not agree with the causal assumption mentioned earlier (i.e., income is the only confounder), you can interpret the coefficient of the Shopper’s Card Acceptance variable as:“Controlling for Income, people who accepted shopper’s card, on ...

In an attempt to be more like the academically respected "hard sciences" of physics and chemistry, economics became math-intensive. Variable uncertainty, however, was a major problem; economics could not isolate controlled and independent variables for math equations. There was also a problem with ...
Regression analysis is widely used in predictive modeling to show how a dependent variable is related to one or more independent variables. Multivariate Statistical Analysis: In this type of Analysis, multiple variables can be analyzed concurrently using multivariate statistical analysis. There are ...
This paper examines understandings of science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) as conceptualized through CoRes (Content Representations) and PaP-eRs (Pedagogical and Professional-experience Repertoire). The consolidation of CoRes and PaP-eRs into Resource Folios that offer in depth, concrete...
Machine learning has become a household term in recent years as the concept moved from science fiction to a key driver of how businesses and organizations process information. With the pace of data creation continuing to grow exponentially, machine learning tools are pivotal for organizations looking...
