What are moderating variables and how are they different from control variable in regression?
Could you explain to me what moderating variables are and how they are different from control variables in regression?
Sure! A moderating variable is a variable that affects the strength or direction of the relationship between two other variables. In other words, when a moderating variable is present, the relationship between the independent and dependent variable changes. On the other hand, a control variable is a variable that is held constant in a study or experiment in order to reduce the chance of a spurious correlation.
