A suppressor variable is a type of variable in statistical analysis that can enhance the predictive power of a model by accounting for variance in the dependent variable that is not explained by the independent variables alone. Essentially, a suppressor variable is one that might not be of primary interest in an analysis but helps in controlling for extraneous variance, allowing a clearer relationship to emerge between the main independent and dependent variables.
