covariate
covariate (covariable) (koh-vair-iăt) n. (in statistics) a continuous variable that is not part of the main experimental manipulation but has an effect on the dependent variable (see variable). The inclusion of covariates increases the power of the statistical test and removes the bias of confounding variables (see confounding factor).
