Homework Statement
Let's say the independent variable (in statistical terms) A depends on variables B, C and D. We perform tests, and find out that the variable A causes "something" with the values of B, C and D equal to B2, C2 and D2.
Let's also say that A with variables B, C and D of B1, C1 and D1 won't cause "anything" (as in, won't cause "something").
How does one deal with such problems in statistics? Whenever some variable depends on other variables to a great extent (even if these variables aren't external), is it usually said that it has been concluded that variable A causes something ONLY with variables B, C and D equal to B2, C2 and D2?
Or is it said that variable A causes something, regardless of the variables that it depends on?
