Question
Distinguish between the following types of variables and their implications for explaining associations and causal relations. (a) Moderating variable (b) instrumental variable (C) confounding variable (D) endogenous variable Distinguish between the following types of variables and their implications for explaining associations and causal relations. (a) Moderating variable (b) instrumental variable (C) confounding variable (D) endogenous variable (a) Moderating variable (b) instrumental variable (C) confounding variable (D) endogenous variableExplanation / Answer
A moderating variable is athird variable that strength the relation ship between depedent and indepedent variable . moderate is a third variable that affect the correlation between depedent and indepedent variable . most of the moderate variable calculate the causal relation with regerssion coefficent
Instrumentsl variable arre used to find out the causal effect that is pleiotropic effect and they are it self a source of bias in non experimental data. this regerssion also provide actual estimate of the outcome of a variable
Cofounding variables that has influvence on both indepedent and depedent variable . it provide a alternative solutin for a variable and also provide a alternative explanaton for the variable
Endogenous variable deeply explain the conditins that help in using manipulation of the exogenous variable on the part of the researchers . it allows to uncover causal relationships with non experimental data
