An extension of the analysis of variance. In the latter the analysis is concerned with sources of variability affecting a set of observations of a single variable y. It may be that there exist variables x (say one for simplicity) which are correlated with y but unaffected by sources of variability; and we wish to abstract the effect of x from y before analyzing the latter. 4, record 6, English, - analysis%20of%20covariance
