What term is often used to refer to the explanatory variable in studies of risk? (a) Outcome (b) Exposure (c) Dependent variable Variables: Variables are the ones whose values do not remain constant and can assume different values. The var...
Latent refers to the fact that even though these variables were not measured directly in the research design they are the ultimate goal of the project. The nature of the latent variable is intrinsically related to the nature of the indicator variables used to define them. In the most usual ca...
Recent developments in Markov chain Monte Carlo [MCMC] methods have increased the popularity of Bayesian inference in many fields of research in economics, such as marketing research and financial econometrics. Gibbs sampling in combination with data augmentation allows inference in statistical/econometric...
However, as correlation doesn’t imply causation, we cannot say with certainty that the change in one of the variables is the cause of the change in the other. 2. Latent variables A latent variable is a variable that you can’t observe or measure — but you can detect them based on ...
A manifest variable can be directly studied by a researcher or statistician when charted in a diagram. A manifest variable is the opposite of a latent variable, which is an attribute that is hidden and therefore cannot be directly observed. ...
