control variable is a variable that is held constant or whose impact is removed in order to analyze the relationship between other variables without interference. For example, suppose the relationship between age and frequency of delinquent activity is first investigated for male students, then separately for female students. The variable sex has been treated as a control variable, its effect being removed. In short, it is a variable whose effect must be neutralized or controlled.
way of handling a control variable to eliminate its effect is to hold it constant. Another is to let it vary, but perform analysis on subsets of the data, within which the control variable does not vary, as in the delinquency case above. This is possible if the control variable is discrete.
If
the control variable is continuous and must vary, then an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) can remove the variable's effect.
If
bias can be removed by better randomizing the populations, this would be preferable to compensating for such bias mathematically.
The
event management plans must be integrated with your overall enterprise continuity management and emergency management approach and must be tested through drills and exercises that test your plans, your people, and your tools. No one knows what events will occur but you can be certain that taking the necessary planning and preparedness steps ahead of time will limit damages and speed the recovery process. Having good plans in place, drilling on them and using a robust information management system to implement and track their execution will prove to be invaluable.
