instrumental variable analysis
Instrumental variable analysis is a statistical method used to uncover causal relationships between two variables when traditional methods are affected by endogeneity bias. It utilizes an independent third variable (the instrumental variable) that is related to the explanatory variable of interest but not directly linked to the outcome variable, allowing researchers to estimate the true causal effect.
