A lurking variable is a variable that is not included as an explanatory or response variable in the analysis but can affect the interpretation of relationships between variables. A lurking variable can falsely identify a strong relationship between variables or it can hide the true relationship. For example, a research scientist studies the effect of diet and exercise on a person's blood pressure. Lurking variables that also affect blood pressure are whether a person smokes and stress levels.

Lurking variables are those that were not included in regression analysis, but are actually the true independent variable. For example, studies show that where there is an increase in ice cream sales, there is also an increase in the number of drownings. Now, ice cream does not affect drowning. The lurking variable in this case is the temperature. As the temperature rises, people buy ice cream and they go swimming. More people swimming will increase the number of drownings. Statisticians...
