stochastic processes in probability theory and statistics, a nuisance variable is a random variable that is fundamental to the probabilistic model, but that...

based on levels of the nuisance variable to control for its influence. Randomization helps distribute the effects of nuisance variables evenly across treatment...

regression with unknown variance in the explanatory variable (the independent variable): its variance is a nuisance parameter that must be accounted for to derive...

example, the categorical variable(s) might describe treatment and the continuous variable(s) might be covariates or nuisance variables; or vice versa. Mathematically...

marginalization over the nuisance variable. (Note that nothing yet has been assumed about the temporal (or any other) ordering of the random variables—the above equation...

confounding variable, confounding factor, extraneous determinant or lurking variable) is a variable that influences both the dependent variable and independent...

explores the relationships between several explanatory variables and one or more response variables. RSM is an empirical model which employs the use of mathematical...

allow for the careful conduct of designed experiments. To control for nuisance variables, researchers institute control checks as additional measures. Investigators...

the effects of one primary factor without the need to take other nuisance variables into account. This article describes completely randomized designs...
