PDF-Extraneous and Confounding Variables and Systematic vs

Another way to think of this is that these are variables the influence the outcome of an experiment though they are not the variab les that are actually of interest These variables are undesirable because they add error to an experiment A major goal.

Instrumental variables IVs are used to control for confounding and measurement error in ssibility of making causal inferences with observational data Like propensity scores IVconfounding effects Other Confounder is a variable that is associated with the exposure and independent of that exposure, is a risk factor for the disease.. Multiple regression allows us to add additional variables into our equation (holding these additional covariate constant—adjusting for confounding).
