A reduction in the potential for the occurrence and effect of confounding factors can be obtained by increasing the types and numbers of comparisons performed in an analysis. If measures or manipulations of core constructs are confounded (i.e. operational or procedural confounds exist), subgroup analysis may not reveal problems in the analysis.
In causal models, controlling for a variable means binning data according to measured values of the variable. This is typically done so that the variable can no longer act as a confounder in, for example, an observational study or experiment.
A variable in an experiment which is held constant in order to assess the relationship between multiple variables [a], is a control variable. [2] [3] A control variable is an element that is not changed throughout an experiment because its unchanging state allows better understanding of the relationship between the other variables being tested.
They are considered potential sources of variability that, if not controlled or accounted for, may confound the interpretation between the independent and dependent variables. To address nuisance variables, researchers can employ different methods such as blocking or randomization.

This resolution of Lord’s Paradox answers both questions: (1) How to allow for preexisting differences between groups and (2) Why the data appear paradoxical. Pearl's do-calculus [6] further answers question (1) for any causal model assumed, including models with multiple unobserved confounders.
