In statistics, a confounder (also confounding variable, confounding factor, extraneous determinant or lurking variable) is a variable that influences both the dependent variable and independent variable, causing a spurious association. Confounding is a causal concept, and as such, cannot be described in terms of correlations or associations. The existence of confounders is an important quantitative explanation why correlation does not imply causation. Confounds are threats to internal validity. (Wikipedia).

Is the function continuous or not
👉 Learn how to determine whether a function is continuos or not. A function is said to be continous if two conditions are met. They are: the limit of the function exist and that the value of the function at the point of continuity is defined and is equal to the limit of the function. Other

Confounding Example 2 - Causal Inference
Today I cover an example of an endogenous condition, a conditioned upon confounder (and collider) which is caused by the endogenous condition, and selection bias.
